'''The Urantia Text''' refers to what is more commonly known as ''The Urantia Book'', but since the announcement of the [[Second Revelatory Commission]], is understood to include any such writing as may ensue from this more recent initiative as well. Nevertheless, ''The Urantia Book'', first published by [[Urantia Foundation]] in 1955, claims to have been presented by celestial beings as the fifth in a series of [[epochal]] [[revelation]]s to our planet, [[Urantia]]. It outlines the [[genesis]], [[history]], and [[destiny]] of [[humanity]] and its relationship with [[God]] while presenting a unique portrait of the life and teachings of [[Jesus]]. Additionally, [[The Urantia Book]] offers an [[integral]] view of the functions of [[science]], [[philosophy]], and [[religion]].
The Urantia Book is an anthology of 196 "papers" written mostly between 1928 and 1935 by [[celestial]] personalities whose titles but generally not their personal names are appended to the essays.

The humans with whom these celestial beings worked to write this document are now deceased, and the means by which the papers were written is not understood even by the few persons working directly with the "subject through whom these communications were transmitted"[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper77.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper77.html&line=166#mfs]. Nonetheless, current research is beginning to identify the apparent [[human]] sources used in this undertaking.
