As a religion which imposes no creed or dogma on its followers, Unitarianism is not easy to define. This short book introduces readers to Unitarian values and principles by means of a simple question-and-answer format, based on questions that people have actually asked when encountering Unitarians for the first time: questions such as "Where does the word 'Unitarian' come from?" . "Are Unitarians Christians?" . "Is there a Unitarian morality?" . "Do Unitarians mix religion with politics?" . "How do Unitarians view sexuality and gender identity?" . and "What do Unitarians think of other faiths?." The author warns: "This text is not the Unitarian party line, for there is no party line.

It does not presume to speak for all Unitarians on any or every issue. It is essentially my own personal perspective as a lifelong Unitarian.".
