Elizabeth Anne Templeton (8 June 1945 – 11 April 2015) was a Scottish freelance theologian and educationalist.

[2] The latter studies had a significant impact on her thinking and she was a logical positivist and radical theologian.

[4] Templeton was committed to providing education, not for theologians, but for ordinary everyday people and after 10 year of teaching theology at New College in Edinburgh, opened a centre where people could talk about everyday problems in relation to theology.

She argued that the purpose of religious education was to enable dialogue between communities.

[4] In 1977 she married Douglas Templeton, who lectured in New Testament, and in 1980 she left her academic post to bring up their young family.
