| Publisher Description: In 2017, the year marking the 105th anniversary of the birth of Sir John Templeton, a group of scientists, scholars, and advisors who knew him personally gathered in Lyford Cay in the Bahamas. Their purpose: to discuss how the Foundation that bears his name could best extend his philanthropic vision into the twenty-first century. This volume is a result of that meeting--a collection of thirteen essays written by experts in fields that most fascinated Sir John. The contributors assess the Foundation's fidelity to its founder's intent, chart promising avenues for future grantmaking, and champion Sir John's contrarian mission of unlocking life's deepest mysteries. The members of the John Templeton Foundation are the custodians of Sir John's vision--bold in its aspiration; humble in its approach--charged with using the tools of science to advance the frontiers of the spirit. May the essays collected here serve as inspiration as we carry that vision forward. |
