5.0 out of 5 stars Handy little introduction with surprising depth, September 17, 2005

This review is from: Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide (Paperback)

I recently became interested in learning more about Unitarian Universalism, and although there's a wealth of information available online, I found this book to be worthwhile anyway. It consists of 7 essays by various UU figures, and addresses all the major points: what UUs believe, how congregations and the UU Association work, what programs and tools UU offers for people who join a congregation, etc. There's also a good historical overview of where Unitarianism and Universalism come from, and how they ended up merging into the UUA.

If you want a simple, pleasant introduction to Universal Unitarianism, I think this is a great place to start. I imagine UUs would also find this handy for finding ways to communicate more clearly to others what their beliefs are.

This is a great little book. A collection of essays on different aspects of Unitarianism, it is a perfect introduction to UU ideas, and all of the essays are extremely well written.

Much higher quality than I expected, this is one I shall be turning to again.

This review is from: Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide (Paperback)

This book has been helpful in my understanding of the religion and ensuring that I have made the right decision in choosing it. I feel it could have been further expanded upon and given more detail (like on what the churches teach or what scriptures they read), but as a sample of what the religion is about, it's a decent read.
