Notes
What's In It?
Part I: The Universe of Universes - How the cosmos is structured and managed. A purposeful personal universe, evolving in time and space toward an unrevealed destiny is described. This creation includes millions of inhabited worlds in various stages of biological, intellectual, social and spiritual evolution. The nature of God and his relationship to the evolving creation is explored in great detail.
Part II: The Local Universe - The evolutionary plan for fostering the evolving social structures of the universes is detailed. Personality survival is determined by our free will decisions related to our personal relationship with God and the values with which we choose to organize and conduct our personal lives. Growth toward perfection should be our fundamental orientation to life. This growth is evolutionary, cumulative and virtually endless. It is achieved through the love of God and unselfish service to our fellow beings.
Part III: The History of Urantia - A geophysical history of our planet sets the stage for an overview of the development of civilization, culture, government, religion, the family, and other social institutions. The meanings and values contained within human religious civilization are revitalized, strengthening the foundations upon which further cultural development may take place. A description of human destiny is provided including a description of the worlds we will inhabit immediately following mortal death.
Part IV: The Life and Teachings of Jesus - Seven hundred pages devoted to the life of Jesus make up the most spiritually compelling biography of Jesus. The Urantia Book relates over 16 times as much information about Jesus' life and teachings than does the Bible. The literary depth of The Urantia Book clearly reveals and touchingly portrays his combined humanity and divinity.

This is read not by a person, but by computer narrator software, thus it's pretty annoying to listen for more than a minute or three, unless you have no other options.
