What People Are Saying

"I am greatly interested in buying several copies of 'The URANTIA Book.' It seems like the greatest thing a human could do for another mortal being. I first learned of your book several years ago, and only recently found a copy in a bookstore."


	History of Urantia Foundation... Urantia Foundation was established in 1950 to be the custodian of the inviolate text of The Urantia Book and to ensure that the book's teachings are spread, with the help of readers and fraternal organizations, to all people. Its ultimate mission is to increase and enhance the comfort, happiness, and well being of man, as an individual and as a member of society, through the fostering of a religion, a philosophy, and a cosmology which is in line with man's current intellectual and cultural development. Urantia Foundation is a non-profit, educational foundation that operates under a Declaration of Trust. It has been printing the book in English since 1955, and in recent years has been translating the book into many other languages of the world. The home of Urantia Foundation, 533 Diversey Parkway, Chicago, Illinois, was built in 1905. Prior to publication of The Urantia Book, the building was used for regular meetings of early readers of the transcripts. The entire estate was bequeathed to the Urantia Foundation in 1969. Today it consists of offices, a basement for storage and shipping operations, a 'Forum room' for meetings and study groups, and two residential apartments.

	Urantia Foundation Outreach Programs... Translations. Urantia Foundation is committed to producing high quality translations of The Urantia Book that faithfully represent the English text in all major languages. Thanks to the many dedicated, multi-lingual readers working with the Foundation, the Book has been translated into French, Finnish, Spanish, Russian, and Dutch, and is distributed in countries where those languages are spoken. Many other translations are in various stages of production. For more information on translations in progress and to find out how you can help, see our contributions page. Worldwide Distribution and International Development. To develop awareness in the book trade and general public, Urantia Foundation displays the Book at major book trade shows worldwide. As more translations are produced, and as the Book is read in other countries, the demand for the services from Urantia Foundation increase. As a result Urantia Foundation maintains international offices to help in their own and adjacent countries. International Urantia Association (IUA). IUA is a readership group of national and local associations of committed men and women who have read The Urantia Book and who support the mission of Urantia Foundation. They foster the in-depth study of The Urantia Book and spread the book's teachings in a variety of ways such as seminars, regional social gatherings, and conferences. Visit the IUA website: http://www.urantia.org/iua. Gift Program.

	Challenges For The Future... The Urantia Book tells us: "The religious challenge of this age is to those farseeing and forward-looking men and women of spiritual insight who will dare to construct a new and appealing philosophy of living out of the enlarged and exquisitely integrated modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness." [p.43.3] The teachings contained in The Urantia Book, when embraced in the hearts and minds of mankind, have the power to bring to reality the supernal message from the Master: "Peace on earth and good will among men." Delivering this revelation to souls in need of its spiritual message, without invasive promotion, churchification, or evangelization is the challenge that faces us. Plans are underway to increase the number of language translations to sixty by the year 2030 and to provide worldwide distribution channels. By then approximately eighty-four percent of the people on the planet will be able to read The Urantia Book in their native tongue. To succeed in this ambitious program, Urantia Foundation needs the support and help of people like you. If you would like to participate in the work of spreading the teachings of The Urantia Book to all the peoples of the world, or if you would simply like additional information, please let us know.
