What is The Urantia Book?
The Urantia Book is a collection of written works that blends science, philosophy, and religion. It contains 196 papers on topics such as the nature of the universe and its creator, the history of our planet, what happens in the afterlife, a detailed account of who Jesus actually was, what makes us humans and individuals, and the goal of human evolution. The book continues to grow in readership worldwide with numerous translations currently available. Access to the original book and its translations can be found at https://urantia.nyc/tc/searchengines/#seDLC.
What is Urantia21?
The original text of The Urantia Book was created in the style of the early 20th century. Now, a century later, writing styles and social attitudes have evolved to new levels. Urantia21 is an attempt to restate the magnificent teachings of The Urantia Book in keeping with those contemporary protocols. This restatement primarily addresses two major themes: First, while the original text uses gender-specific nouns and pronouns throughout, Urantia21 has been developed using gender neutral language. This is particularly important when referring to spiritual beings, to whom material sex-based gender is not applicable. The second theme has to do with titles for the First Source and Center of all reality. Urantia21 has utilized titles which are not based in any particular religious tradition, except where a named tradition is being described. The written text of these recordings can be found at urantia21.online, and the original text of The Urantia Book is available free on numerous websites.
