ABSTRACT
Harvey Cox, a professor of religion, tried to get behind the controversies over the alleged right-wing politics and psychological programming of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. Does it pose a serious theological challenge to traditional American Christians by confronting them with other spiritual traditions? Cox also suggests that, as it seemed to him in 1977, the Church's political outlook was more complex than had been supposed. What was the nature of its appeal, particularly to the young?
