Urantia United

From Wikiversity

Urantia United is designed to support teachers who wish to integrate the principles of "religious equality" into their religious studies and theology classroom practices. The text is intended to suit Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other faith traditions.

Urantia United (Earth United) is in large part an edited, condensed version of the Urantia Book by Kurt Kawohl. The reason for editing the original book was to assign equal validity to all religions and also to confirm its contents by this editor’s own spiritual journey. (See Summation) These writings are comprised of a broad range of subjects that can help you in your quest to deepen your understanding of and relationship with God.
