A Brief Description of The Urantia Book

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

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, opening new vistas of time and eternity, and revealing new concepts of Man's ever-ascending adventure of finding the Universal Father.

The Urantia Book's view of science, philosophy, and religion is perhaps the clearest and most concise integration of these subjects available. There is little question among the over 400,000 people 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 make the world a happier place.

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.

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. These early readers formed the first core group of readers and became committed to printing and sharing The Urantia Book.

What People Are Saying About The Urantia Book

"The Urantia Book" is a replete work, incredibly consistent.The book appeals to readers from all faiths, discusses the major world religions, and develops a sense of cosmology and sense of belonging to a friendly universe greater than we are. I love this book because it has made God more clear to me, more certain. It diverges from Christianity in three doctrines: atonement, virgin birth and Adam & Eve as the first humans. The story and history of the Lucifer Rebellion are chilling. For me, the 3rd part of the book that discusses our planetary history was the authenticator. Things I can see in the world are discussed with The Urantia Book stating the causes. Like the Pharisees of old, many are threatened by new religious writings as if they would invalidate the old. The Urantia Book expands that which we have today gracefully and lovingly. For the spiritually hungry, it is a MUST READ. Read & expand. "The Urantia Book has been part of my life for a good 20 years. The Urantia Book is not a Holy Book but its teachings given, little by little, in wisdom will draw us closer to each other."
San Diego, California, U.S.A.

I'll keep this simple. If you are one who realizes that the "whole truth" doesn't exist in any book but that many books contain "the truth" then this book should intrigue you. It doesn't pull any punches. It is what it is. Some parts leave me scratching my head but most parts expand my religious comprehension. And that's ok with me. Plus, if you fear it's the work of a cult, it's not. It doesn't ask you to join anything or give your money to anybody or use certain "techniques" to attain nirvana or enlightenment. You're safe. If you do not fear having your established opinions challenged, this is a true adventure for you. If you are happy and satisfied with your religious dogma, stay away.

"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."
Lancashire, England, UNITED KINGDOM

"It (The Urantia Book) has, with its revelations, not only captivated me, but changed my outlook and gave me after a life long search the conviction of having, at last, found the Truth."
Goslar, GERMANY

"This is an excellent book because it presents in depth (form & content) the mutual relations between the science, philosophy and religion on a universal scale."
Plovdiv, BULGARIA

"Many tears fell on the book while reading the emotional parts."
Heusden, NETHERLANDS
