Kwak wrote and supervised the translation into English of 5 levels of progressively in-depth "outlines" of Divine Principle which he said were more attuned to the Western way of thinking than the Divine Principle text. For a time most members in the U.S. regarded Outline of the Principle: Level 4 as the most official version of Divine Principle in English, but later church founder Sun Myung Moon made it clear that the Divine Principle book retained that position.
