Item Description...
The Unification Church and its founder, Dr. Sun Myung Moon, have been in the center of controversy because of their recruiting practices, their financial holdings, and their authoritarian style--including arranged, mass marriages. Most controversial in terms of its teachings in Dr. Moon's claim to be a new Messiah who will finish what Jesus left "undone." Is he the Messiah, and is his Diving Principle the third testament of the Bible? Why this series? This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys. All books but the summary volume, Truth and Error, contain five sections: -A concise introduction to the group being surveyed -An overview of the group's theology - in its own words -Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group -A bibliography with sources for further study -A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group -Truth and Error, the last book in the series, consists of parallel doctrinal charts compiled from all the other volumes. -Three distinctives make this series especially useful to readers: -Information is carefully distilled to bring out truly essential points, rather than requiring readers to sift their way through a sea of secondary details. -Information is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow outline form with "menu bar" running heads. This format greatly assists the reader in quickly locating topics and details of interest. -Each book meets the needs and skill levels of both nontechnical and technical readers, providing an elementary level of refutation and progressing to a more advanced level using arguments based on the biblical text.

| I took a personal interest in religion this past year and was looking for a book that would help explain the Unification Church to me. The first book I bought was very long and confusing, but this book was great. While it did seem that the followers of the Unificationist Church were being portrayed in a somewhat negative light, I still feel that the history of Reverend Moon and his ideas were well described. A very easy read; I recommend it if you would like to understand and read about the religion, but do not wish to have a dictionary next to you at all times. | | | | A practical, neutral and simple guide Jul 22, 1999 |
| Easy to understand, logical and informative. I am against every type of cult and sect, so I think that this collection of books should make everybody clear how difficult it is nowadays to believe in ideas or in Corean false messiahs, who have a bomb factory and who proclame onw nation higher than others (Cor > Jap > the rest > communists). Well, I recommend this book to everyone. | | | | Why Is There A Political Bias in This Series? Jul 18, 1999 |
| I find it interesting that Gomes' book on Unitarian-Universalism contains copious references to our traditions religious views, but this book on the Unification Church does not. I would have liked more discussion of Unificationism's links to Christian Right organisations in the eighties, and the Christian Right relationship to the Washington Times. The section on front groups is inadequate and should be expanded for that reason. However, I did like aspects of this book. The description of Unificationist doctrine is good, and the author is not afraid to challenge the authoritarianism of the Unification movement. I would ask why the author does not similarly critique elements within his own evangelical tradition that often lead evangelicals and Unificationists to co-belligerency. One other thing- the author does not comment on the fact that most evangelical critiques of the Unification movement are over fifteen to twenty years old, before the Unificationists started their current conservative correctness campaign. I wonder if there is a connection, and why the author does not comment on this? | | | Write your own review about Unification Church
