Wonderful intro book to the Urantia BookSeptember 16, 2008 I've given this introductory book to the Urantia Book to several friends. My copy is worn, underlined, read and reread. It's prompted me numerous times to either go online or to pick up the UB itself and read a passage further. It sits prominently on my night table book shelf.
Revelations to teachApril 21, 2008 This is a wonderful book for beginners to learn the principals of the Urantia book. It is also a great teaching tool.

I have been a reader of The Urantia Book for several years. Despite regular and methodical reading, plus also owning a copy of Concordance, I still have not managed to finish the book nor digest some of its more difficult premises. This Introduction by David Bradley helped me do that.
At first I was hesitant that it would alter some of the TUB's basic theories. When an author attempts to simplify and explain, he can offer enter in false information through his own personal "filter" of understanding. Bradley avoids this by quoting directly from the book and keeping his own explanations to the barest minimum. The most beneficial thing Bradley did was to select out key paragraphs from TUB and put them together, thereby helping the reader to summarize some of the most important concepts quickly.
The other benefit of Bradley's book are the illustrations. In order to understand the cosmos as explained in TUB, I've had to make my own sketches. Bradley has saved us all a lot of time by making two large and really excellent illustrations.

I received the book in a very timely manner. The book was well packaged to prevent any damage to it. Thank you!
a good primerAugust 3, 2006 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The U Book is often a difficult read for first timers, especially if they have had little preliminary discussion about its content. "Introduction" presents some of the fundamentals contained in the revelation in an easy to grasp manner. If still interested, the reader can progress to the U Book itself. This is far better than frustrating a reader in the first 20 pages of The Urantia Book.
