 The second project is the edition of a special issue of the journal Religious Studies (Alvarado &amp; Portugal forthcoming), which will bring together some of the results of various recent research projects on the existence and nature of God and the rationality or justification of religious beliefs and practices that have been funded by the Templeton Foundation. These projects were supported by two large grants aimed to foster systematic research in analytic philosophy of religion in both Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Latin America.
