Reviews

"What is nontheistic religion?" is the seemingly paradoxical question underlying this discussion of Ethical Culture and the older tradition of humanism in which it originated and evolved. Written by a former Leader, this is part testimony but mainly a look at this movement's birth in 1876 and subsequent growth, as well as a sound discussion of its tenets: faith in the human personality as ultimately valuable and commitment to a mutually responsible ethical lifestyle, as distinct from obedience to divine commands. Well written and quite topical. EC
