The Urantia Book, The Urantia Papers, and the Fifth epochal revelation

From Symmetry of Soul
(Redirected from The Urantia Book)

The Urantia Papers is the proper designation of the revelation of truth itself.

The Urantia Book is the name given to publications of all 196 papers and the foreword in some single volume, either printed or electronic. Such works may include additional material that is not part of The Urantia Papers such as their front matter (e.g., table of contents), indicies, appendixes, reference maps, or annotations of some form.

Certain other published works are in existence that are altered versions of The Urantia Papers, perhaps in service of language modernization or simplified abridgement. These are neither The Urantia Papers nor The Urantia Book.
