J. Taylor Hamilton and Kenneth G. Hamilton wrote this official history of the renewed Unitas Fratrum, the Moravian Church, covering the period 1722 to 1957, published by the church's own Interprovincial Board of Christian Education. Its strength is direct access to the church's own archives, giving the account a documentary depth an outside historian working without that access could not easily match. Its limit is the one that applies to any denomination's own commissioned institutional history, it is written from within the church for the church, so a claim needing critical outside historical assessment of a contested episode in Moravian history is better checked against an independent academic source alongside this institutional account.
