El Libro de Urantia

The exact circumstances of the origin of The Urantia Book are unknown. The book and its publishers do not name a human author. Instead, it is written as if directly presented by numerous celestial beings appointed to the task of providing an "epochal" religious revelation. Already in 1911, William S. Sadler and his wife Lena Sadler, physicians in Chicago and well known in the community, is said to have been approached by a neighbor who was concerned because she occasionally would find her husband in a deep sleep and breathing abnormally. She said she was unable to wake him right now. The Sadlers came to observe the episodes, and over time, the individual produced verbal communications claiming to be from "Student Visitor" spiritual beings. This changed sometime in early 1925 with a "bulky hand-written document," which since then became the regular method of purported communication. The guy was never publicly identified, but is described as "a tough businessman, member of the board of trade and the stock market."

The Urantia book is 2,097 pages and contains an introductory prologue followed by 196 "papers" divided into four parts:

Part I, entitled "Central and Superuniverse" addresses what the authors consider the highest levels of creation, as the eternal and infinite "Universal Father" with partners of the Trinity, and the "Island of Paradise."

Part II, "Local Universe", describes the origin, administration and local universe personalities of "Nebadon", part of the cosmos where Earth resides. Presents stories of the inhabitants of local universes and their work, as it is coordinated with a scheme of spiritual ascension and progression of the different orders of beings, including humans, angels and others.

Part III, "The History of Urantia", compiles a comprehensive history of the Earth, presenting a supposed explanation of the origin, evolution and destiny of the world and its inhabitants. Topics include Adam and Eve, Melchizedek, essays on the concept of the Thought Adjuster, "Religion in Human Experience" and "survival of the personality."

Part IV, "The Life and Teachings of Jesus" is the biggest part of 775 pages, and is often seen as the most accessible and impressive, narrating a detailed biography of Jesus including his childhood, adolescence, life family, and prosecutors, as well as the events that led to his crucifixion, death and resurrection. Continue papers appearances after he rose, Pentecost, and finally, "The faith of Jesus."
