Annotation

Mostly a spiritualist religious book which traces the history of the universe and then of the solar system and life within it and the development of that life. Spiritual beings oversaw human development and taught humans the life skills they needed for survival. A fall from grace of the spiritual beings is described. Then the history of humanity up to the coming of Christ is given. Paper 72 (808-20) by Melchizedek of Nebadon presents “Government on a Neighboring Planet” as a eutopia focusing on one fairly small, isolated continent. Other sections described the governmental and social structures of, among others, the Seraphim. See also William S[amuel Sadler, Jr. (1875-1963), A Study of the Master Universe: A Development of the Urantia Book. Chicago, IL: Second Society Books, 1968.
