Description
Dr. Sadler and The Urantia Book: A History of a Spiritual Revelation in the 20th Century The story of The Urantia Book is one of extraordinary spiritual revelation, born from a series of extraordinary events. From 1911 to 1923, a group of celestial beings communicated with Dr. William S. Sadler, a local physician, through a sleeping patient in Chicago. This remarkable phenomenon resulted in the composition of The Urantia Book, a 2,097-page tome that claims to be the fifth epochal revelation to humankind. The History of The Urantia Book explores the professional lives and spiritual pursuits of Dr. Sadler and his wife, Lena, as they studied the voluminous notes and composed questions for the celestial beings. The book sheds new light on the fiercely protected identity of the "patient" and likely scribe for these revelations, and compares the "origin story" with the scholarly discovery of relevant facts and circumstances that led to its publication.
