Frequently asked questions
Results are ordered by relevance by default — a passage whose title is exactly your query comes first, then titles containing it, then matches in the body text. The sort button switches to newest-first or oldest-first when you want chronology instead.
Three modes control how your words are matched. Smart blends keywords with meaning and suits most searches. Exact phrase requires the words together, in that order, and never substitutes something looser — if nothing matches, it says so. By meaning finds passages about your idea even when the wording differs, which is what you want for a question asked in full sentences.
Put "quotes" around words in any mode to force an exact phrase. Use Titles only to ignore body text. The concordance and the year trend always match literally, so in By meaning they may show fewer passages than the list above.
The archive draws from official publications of the Unification Church and FFWPU — Cheon Seong Gyeong, Pyeong Hwa Gyeong, Exposition of the Divine Principle, Messages of Peace, and others — plus transcribed sermons, prayers, and speeches spanning 1946 to 2012.
A portion consists of unofficial or community-sourced materials. If you spot an error, please use the contact page. Full list: Sources.
All passages are in English. Most were originally delivered in Korean and translated by interpreters. Translation quality varies; older transcriptions may contain errors.
Formally published books — especially the Cheon Seong Gyeong — have undergone multiple editorial reviews. See Editorial Methodology.
Each passage has a permanent URL. Include: author name, date, source book or event, and a link. Example: Sun Myung Moon, "The Way of God's Will," January 1972. tplegacy.net/the-way-of-gods-will/
