The Urantia 'Text' is comprised of what is more commonly known as The Urantia Book, but since the announcement of the Second Revelatory Commission, is understood in this context 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 a revelation to our planet, Urantia. Many who have read it accept this assertion.

The writings in the Book instruct us on the genesis, history, and destiny of humanity and on our relationship with God the Father. They present a unique and compelling portrayal of the life and teachings of Jesus. They open new vistas of time and eternity to the human spirit, and offer new details of our ascending adventure in a friendly and carefully administered universe.

The Urantia Book offers a clear and concise integration of science, philosophy, and religion. Those who read and study it believe that The Urantia Book has the capacity to make a significant contribution to the religious and philosophical thinking of people worldwide.

The Urantia Book is not a "religion" per se. Its builds upon the religious heritages of the past and present, encouraging a personal, living religious faith.

Readers around the world have told us that reading the Book has profoundly affected them and often changed their lives. It has inspired them to reach new levels of spiritual growth and enhanced their sense of the value of human life.

We encourage you to read it as well, and discover for yourself it's ennobling message.
