The Cry of the Wolfe: a compelling and engaging reader

Mistitled
I bought this book thinking that it would cover the subject of Religious Humanism. After reading the introduction, however, I feel as though the author has deliberately set about to confuse the term.

Greg Wolfe seems to be charting new territory by bringing to light these extraordinary essays by some of our most gifted writers. I've sent copies to friends, and recommend it highly.

This review is from: The NEW RELIGIOUS HUMANISTS (Hardcover)
I bought this book thinking that it would cover the subject of Religious Humanism. After reading the introduction, however, I feel as though the author has deliberately set about to confuse the term. At first I thought that the author might have been simply ignorant of the historical use of the term "Religious Humanism" as defined in documents such as the 1933 "Humanist Manifesto I". With statements like "religious humanists [...] go about their work without much taste for manifestos", however, I do not believe that ignorance can be blamed. Readers will be disappointed to find that this is a work on liberal theism, not Religious Humanism.
