Turner, Dean. Commitment to Care: An Integrated Philosophy of Science, Education, and Religion. Old Greenwich, Connecticut: The Devin-Adair Company, 1978.
Abstract
"The clue to the universe is
love." In this revolutionary book, Professor Dean Turner brings the
most revolutionary concept of mankind - that of a loving, caring God -
into philosophy of religion, education, and science. Commitment to Care
is a sophisticated, innovative book designed to stretch the frontiers
of thought. It is designed to build belief through fact, not blind
faith. Commitment to
Care is designed both for the individual who, sure in his
faith, is ready to reach for new expressions of God's wonder, and for
the agnostic who has not found an intellectually sound reason to
believe. In religion, this book solves such painful problems as: Why
does God permit so much evil? Why do we have to pay so high a price for
life? Does God really give a damn? In education, Professor Turner
emphatically demonstrates the need to bring the concept of loving
creation back into the classroom. In science, Commitment to Care
presents startling, challenging concepts professionally and factually.
Three hundred thirty footnotes credit the detailed work of scientists
and philosophers who have striven to bring into their fields a new
vision.
