Admittedly I have not read anything by Manning, nor do I plan to. But my first impression after reading this thread and the article in Christianity Today is that he seems to subscribe to the opposite view that James 4:10 tells us.

Humble yourselves in the site of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Do you think my first impression has merit?

janean, above does an excellent job of having drawing lines between Manning and some others in this "new wave" theology. In each they begin by concentrating on "man" first and then attempt to look for God "somewhere" and how He will answer their questions. So, yes, these authors fail to humble themselves first, fully, and finally to God. They offer a look at God through depraved eyes.
