Some Issues Related to the Origins and Authenticity of The Urantia Book by Bob Boden

This essay by Bob Boden, was written originally in response to my essay “Problems with the Cosmology and Astronomy of The Urantia Book”. It is still reproduced at the end of that article. It notes problematic issues I did not discuss and I thought it deserved a wider distribution. I have but lightly edited (syntax … Continue reading Some Issues Related to the Origins and Authenticity of The Urantia Book by Bob Boden

Problems with the Cosmology and Astronomy of The Urantia Book

ABSTRACT The purpose of this essay is to set the cosmology and astronomy of the Urantia Book against what modern, twenty-first-century cosmology and astronomy observe in the physical universe. I will also argue that even if today’s cosmology and astronomy have got some things wrong about the structure of the universe, there is enough evidence … Continue reading Problems with the Cosmology and Astronomy of The Urantia Book

Gardner, Moyer, and Mullins: Three Histories of The Urantia Book

This review, first published on the Urantia Brotherhood website ( I cannot find it there any longer) in 2001. It deserves to be here since I am writing lately about the book explicitly.

But all of them, with but a couple of minor variations, stem from the author’s one grand mistake. His failure to recognize that a truely infinite, … Continue reading Book Review: God’s Grand Game by Steven Colborne

Review: Truths about Evil, Sin, and the Demonic by Byron Belitsos

In my formal review (included below) I said this book has problems. Byron Belitsos is a long-time friend and I did not wish to give him too difficult a time on Amazon, but there are more problems with his book than I noted in the review. It’s time I reviewed those other issues. I hope … Continue reading Review: Truths about Evil, Sin, and the Demonic by Byron Belitsos

Foreign Agent the Last Chapter. A Review

By Wehttam Tropapar In September 2022, the anticipated Foreign Agent the Last Chapter arrived on the scene! Sequels are often formulaic and dull compared to first books, but this one is an exception to the rule. By comparison, the original Foreign Agent becomes a prequel –albeit a necessary one. Foreign Agent the Last Chapter is … Continue reading Foreign Agent the Last Chapter. A Review
