Urantia Movement

The Urantia Movement is a term describing an amorphous network of individuals who have identified with the Urantia Book as the "fifth epochal revelation". Typically, enthusiasts of The Urantia Book do not recognize "the movement" as a religion though scholars¹ of religion have come to recognize it as a New Religious Movement. For "official" and critical histories see the following.

• Urantia, The Great Cult Mystery, by Martin Gardner (critical)
