Has anyone heard of the Urantia Book?

I had seen it mentioned online before maybe once, but was at a book store this weekend in Nashville and bought a copy.

It is presented almost like a religious text and appeared in Chicago in the 1950s. 1/3 of the book is written referencing the life of Jesus, and while most claims align with Christianity, a few of the points are heretical

Not heard of it, but your reading list is impressive to say the least.

I gave up paper writing right after phones w screens came into being. Serious error on my part that I need to remedy. Little more work to seek out, but worth the effort.

I’m much more of a collector than a thorough reader though. I like to collect books that are rare or hard to find.
