This book presents a digest of what The Urantia Book says-the gist of it, the main outlines of the story. As such The Urantia Revelation: The Structure and Meaning of the Universe Explained will serve as an introduction and guide to The Urantia Book, or as simplified and accessible substitute for those wishing to know what was revealed in the fifth epochal revelation on Planet Earth. There is hardly anything more interesting.
