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.
