First published in 1955, the Urantia Book boldly claims to be a revelation of truth to our world from a friendly and well-ordered universe. A revelation, in book form, intended to help guide humankind into a new era of evolutionary progress. It provides a deeper appreciation and understanding of our own planetary family while disclosing our place in the great cosmic family of freewill intelligent beings. It reveals as never before an infinite circle of creation, at the center of which reigns a beneficent and loving creator.
