A Chosen Faith: An Introduction to Unitarian Universalism
Forrest Church, John A. Buehrens

Beacon Press, 1998

Enlightening

The Evangelical Universalist
Gregory MacDonald

Cascade Books, 2006

Count Me In
Like the author, I'm now a hopeful dogmatic universalist. Hopeful because we hope it's true. Dogmatic because the doctrine is biblically supported. The book is written at a seminary level. The first chapter covers philosophic reasons why universalism is preferable ...

The Unitarians and Universalists: (Denominations in America)

A decent historical look at UU
