Unity teaches that the Truth is contained subtly rather than literally in the Bible, much as it is in the parable-stories of Jesus. But Unity does not believe that it, or Christianity in general, has a corner on the Truth. Rather, there is Truth in all of the world's great religions and their holy writings. Thus, Unity believes that there is great value to be gained from reading such spiritual classics as the Upanishads , the Dhammapada , and the Tao Te Ching , to name but a few. It also values the writings of more modern spiritual giants, like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emma Curtis Hopkins, H. Emilie Cady, Ernest Holmes, Emmet Fox, and Eric Butterworth.
Unity teaches that death is a transition rather than an end.
Actually, Unity has no clear or distinctive teaching about the afterlife. It is convinced that death is not an end, but a natural transition. Though it is not an official tenet of Unity, many, perhaps most, Unity Christians believe in some form of reincarnation or transmigration of souls.
