OverviewThis publication speaks to the people of our planet, Urantia, and offers an organized record of mankind's origin, history and destiny. It tells about Deity; the organization and administration of universes and the relation of the planet on which we live to the universe; the genesis and destiny of man and his relation to God and the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is an attempt to speak to man's deep spiritual yearnings and to satisfy the intellect by harmonizing religion, philosophy and today's science through the fostering of individual spiritual growth and an understanding of the universe which are commensurate with man's intellectual and cultural development. It opens new vistas of time and eternity and new concepts of man's ever-ascending adventure of finding God the Father.
