The Urantia Book
In this session, Byron Belitsos will introduce the 2,000-page The Urantia Book (1955), which has sold over a million copies worldwide in all major languages. We will focus especially on its relevance to current world events and its revisioning of cosmology, theology, earth history, and the life of Jesus. The discussion will consider its depiction of the billions of inhabited planets in the "local universe" and beyond, the ongoing contacts of these local worlds with our planet, and the destiny of the human residents of these inhabited worlds in the afterlife. We will also touch upon how the book's integrative philosophy closely resembles Ken Wilber's integral theory.
