Divine Principle

The Divine Principle is the primary theological textbook of the Unification Church, founded by Sun Myung Moon. It was first published in Korean in 1966 as Wolli Kangron (원리강론, “Exposition of the Principle”). The book functions both as a systematic theology and a scriptural foundation for the movement, comparable in importance to the Bible for Christianity or the Qur’an for Islam within their traditions.

The text presents the core doctrines of the Unification faith, including:

The purpose of creation
The cause of human fall and sin
The role of Jesus and his unfinished mission
The necessity of a new messiah
God’s providence throughout history
