Originally published in the 1950s and 1960s, these workbooks were authored by Dr. William S.
Sadler and Alvin Kulieke to serve as texts to train teachers and students
of the Urantia Papers. They were out of
print for years, and the original editions are hard to find. These volumes will certainly be of interest to
students of the Urantia Papers, and to those interested in the ideas some
early readers of the Book had on its teachings. The original workbooks have been consolidated by
theme into several volumes. Titles

of The Urantia Book.
