Introduction to The Urantia Book

By Harry McMullan III

In October, 1955, The Urantia Book was published by a non-profit foundation in Chicago. It purported to be a revelation by celestial personalities to the peoples of the earth. In the intervening years its story has inspired tens of thousands with answers to the questions of who we are, why we are here, and where we are going. Since each person must judge such matters on their own merits, this paper attempts to set forth a brief synopsis of its incomparable contents.
