Overview

Who This Brief Monograph is For The Urantia Book provides an extensive cosmology that complements thought from the major schools of personalism, adding depth and dimension to theology's most spiritually fruitful domain of inquiry. If you are comfortable with theological reflection and are interested in becoming more familiar with The Urantia Book, this volume is your entry point. A Personalist Cosmology also will provide a range of new insights for experienced readers of The Urantia Book who have lived with it long enough to sense that its deepest gift is not a set of isolated teachings, but a coherent world-an inhabitable architecture of reality that can be entered, tested, and slowly internalized. This volume is intended to provide a credible entry point for conversation: a way to bring Urantia Book concepts into responsible dialog with theologically and philosophically informed skeptics or seekers. After reading this book you will be better equipped to: Explore The Urantia Book as a model of reality apart from belief or rejection of its claims Value structure as a precursor to understanding detail Grasp the essence of The Urantia Book using common philosophical and theological language Avoid becoming lost in The Urantia Book's encyclopedic surface This volume will not: Summarize The Urantia Book Argue for its authority or truth Require you to replace existing theological commitments Rely on circular Urantia Book self-referencing arguments Require acquiescence to The Urantia Book as revelation Extensive reference material In addition to a glossary, appendices provide valuable background on personalism, including comparisons between Orthodox-Trinitarian, Catholic, and The Urantia Book's Relational-Ontological Personalism. A bibliography is provided as well as a taxonomy of Orthodox and Catholic contributors to the evolution of personalis thought. If you are interested in the confluence of The Urantia Book, personalism, and contemporary theological dialog, this book is for you.
