The Urantia Book (Part 3): The History of Urantia [Earth]

By: Urantia Foundation

Narrated by: Urantia Foundation

After listening to Part 1 and Part 2 of The Urantia Book, listening to Part 3 makes you feel like an astronaut returning to earth from a long space voyage. Part 3 depicts the history of life on earth since its origin more than four-and-one-half billion years ago. It traces the story of human existence from the birth of the first two human beings nearly 993,500 years ago.

Beyond explaining our physical evolution, Part 3 describes the development of civilization, industry, government, religion, and family life. The records of human tribulation and progress indicate that we are moving toward a better world.

Highlights from Part 3 include: A scientific explanation of the origin of our solar system and our world; the stages of a divinely guided evolutionary process; the ages of fishes, birds, dinosaurs, and primates; how and why human life evolved on earth; the story of the first two human beings; the triumphs and tragedies of Adam and Eve; Abraham, Moses, Van, Lao-tse, Confucius, Ikhnaton, and other heroes of planetary history; the rise and fall of ancient civilizations; the bleak years of the Lucifer rebellion; the evolution of government and the path to world peace; principles for successful marriages and good families; how personal religion brings you lasting happiness; how the indwelling Spirit of God works to ensure your eternal survival; how to pray and worship more effectively; and how to overcome evil and suffering.

Most beautiful

This is the most beautiful account of events leading up to the world we live in. I believe it will take a thousand years for humanity to warm up to it but we’re headed there. Lovely 💕

My Eye’s are Wide Open!

Overall The Urania Book just blew my mind. Even though this story of how life became conscious seems so far fetched. There is a big part of my soul that believes every bit of it. I will need to listen again and again to really understand these readings. I gave a four star for story because it was hard for me to follow being this was the first time I ever could imagine the probabilities of creation being so vast and infinite. I recommend for all humanity to read this book. Again my eyes are wide open.

Incredibly mind altering.

You'll never think of the world we live in the same way! These insights open your mind into a limitless realm of creative awareness that will transform the way you look at life and the creator. Well worth the investment of time and energy to assimilate the information in this series of books.

Urantia Papers

Urantia appears to be the most consistent religious and historical collection of 196 papers ever written. The underlying themes are consistent — embrace life, gain knowledge, love God and love your neighbor. These two great commandments are shown to be the elegant, if plain and powerful religion “of” Jesus, as compared to a religion about Jesus. I recommend Urantia to anyone who cares about science, anthropology, world history, evolution, social systems, geology and a myriad of other subjects.

Overwhelmingly good.

So much information. ... it was overwhelming good, but in a good way.
