The word "Urantia" is what the authors of the 196 papers of the book call our planet. The Urantia Book comprises over 2,000 pages that integrate the nature of deity, cosmology, spirituality, science, philosophy, government, anthropology and the history of civilization. The book clarifies historical background information on the world's major religions. The Urantia Book describes in detail the process of continual advancement in this life and the one that follows, progress that is within reach of all human beings who are able to put their faith in God. It demonstrates how the truth and reality of personal spiritual experience can unify us all, and that the many diverse expressions of this truth are derived from the same source and inspiration. As a result, regardless of religious and cultural diversity, we all have the potential to be united in spirit.
The Urantia Book gives a rich, detailed account of the life and teachings of Jesus.It includes “the missing years” and is broader in scope than anything ever written on the life of Jesus, who is also referred to by the book's authors as the Creator Son of our local universe. This is not a new Christian doctrine, but rather a body of teachings that will enhance the experience of all who are attracted to true religious living. The Urantia Book takes our intellectual and spiritual understanding to a whole new level and as such refers to itself, and is experienced by many, as a revelation to this planet.
It can be argued that as our planet has entered the 21st century guidance is needed to lead us into a future that balances the advances of technology with the realities of spiritual living. The Urantia Book is a new revelation that builds upon the truths of past revelations, and its celestial authors speak to our times and show us how we as human beings can eventually come together in a common purpose. If you are a truth seeker and are searching for spiritual insight and a better understanding of the world and its problems, you will surely find guidance within The Urantia Book that will uplift you and add new levels of meaning to your life.
