What People Are Saying

"I have found The Urantia Book to be the most enlightened source of wisdom I have ever come across. My husband and I are very interested in finding others in our area that may be studying this book."

A Brief Description of The Urantia Book

The Urantia Book, first published by the Urantia Foundation in 1955, was authored by celestial beings as a special revelation to our planet, Urantia.

The book's message is that all human beings are one family, the sons and daughters of one God, the Universal Father. It instructs on the genesis, history, and destiny of mankind and on our relationship with God. It also presents a unique and compelling portrayal of the life and teachings of Jesus, opening new vistas of time and eternity, and revealing new concepts of Man's ever-ascending adventure of finding the Universal Father in our friendly and carefully administered universe.

The Urantia Book's view of science, philosophy, and religion is perhaps the clearest and most concise integration of these subjects available to contemporary man. There is little question among the over 400,000 people who have purchased, read, and who study the Book: The Urantia Book has the capacity to make a significant contribution to the religious and philosophical thinking of all peoples; it truly has the potential to shape world destiny.

Over and over, people from around the world have discovered that the Book has profoundly impressed and changed their lives - inspired and stimulated them to reach new levels of spiritual growth and enhanced living.

While almost every generation produces a number of people who pose as the bearers of a 'new revelation,' it is surprising that The Urantia Book does not advocate a new organised religion. Its viewpoint builds upon the religious heritages of the past and present, encouraging a personal, living religion based on faith and service to one's fellows.

Where Did The Urantia Book Come From?

In the early 20th century, a physician practicing in Chicago became the head of a group known as the Contact Commission. This small group was the focal point for the production of, and the primary custodian for, the final text of The Urantia Book. They were sworn not to disclose details about the transactions in order to preclude future generations from venerating the participants. It was considered important that no individual might be exalted through their association with The Urantia Book. Because of its revelatory nature, the book stands on its own merit, nature and content.

As the contents of The Urantia Book were being transcribed, the Urantia Papers were read to, and questions were requested from "The Forum," a group that had been meeting regularly for discussions at the doctor's house. The answers to these questions were then incorporated into the papers. These early readers formed the first core group of believers in the revelation and became committed to the mission of bringing the teachings of The Urantia Book to all of mankind.

What People Are Saying About The Urantia Book

"I have been reading The Urantia Book over the last 27 years and as I am transformed through the marvellous process of 'sacred' evolution I am still constantly amazed by the multi-dimensional richness that stimulates my thought processes via this wonderful revelation of creator and creation, The Urantia Book. In the dynamic equilibrium of life's exfolding with sublime uncertainty reflecting through the Faith sons and daugthers, I am one of the many who stand within the brother/sisterhood circle and seek to become more real, more true to my source, more loving of my brothers and sisters and more harmoniously entwined to the source of my being. The Urantia Book is for spiritual experience, is not mystical and is everyday and practical awakening."
Forrest, Victoria, AUSTRALIA

"Reading The Urantia Book has been one of the greatest experiences of my long, varied and full life. This quite amazing book has broadened my mind and enhanced my intellect so that I feel almost as if I have grown a brain extension in order to comprehend the immensity of the books message."
