Split of the Unification Movement Jongsuk Kim

This book is a study of the history of the split of the Unification Movement from 1998 to 2016. Specifially, the author studied the reasons, process, and the results of the split of the Unification Movement around the time of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's death in September, 2012. The book aids the reader to put togther the pieces to understand the actions and consequences of the often-opaque leadership of the various organizations of the Unification Movement, as the True Mother (Mrs. Hak Ja Han Moon), Hyung Jin Sean Moon (youngest son of Rev. Moon), and other leaders of the Family Federation take over the organizations the late founder left behind. The author states that the current Family Federation led by True Mother (Mrs. Hak Ja Han Moon) is theologically different from the organization led by True Father (Rev. Sun Myung Moon). The book also presents a hint as to what challenges lie ahead in the future of the Unification Movement.
