This review is from: Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church (Hardcover)

I am surprised that there are not more customer reviews. Much of the material about church life style is rather out of date since the book was published in the early 70's, if my memory serves me well. But it contains possibly the only in depth interview with Reverend Sun Myung Moon to be published. I am still impressed by Rev Moon's candour and how consistent his remarks then are with his staements now and the whole of his life. I also find Professor Sontag's comments of great value, being unprejudicial and thoughtful. Aparently this book is now out of print. I would suggest that the Unification Movement still carries copies. Check... the Unification websites.

This review is from: Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church (Hardcover)

Anyone wanting to understand the Unification Church should own this book. Dr. Sontag interviewed members around the world in the formative years of the international church. He also interviewed Rev. Moon, one of the few times that has ever happened.

This review is from: Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church (Hardcover)

I have read this book several times, and I have found it an accurate and thoughtful description of my church. All the major issues and most of the significant doctrines are here.
