Course Description
This course focuses on exploring what The Urantia Book reveals to us about the conversation between revelation and evolution. Frames of reference affect the way we communicate ideas, assess data, and even how we behave. Our context or 'frame' for viewing the world of people and things selectively constrains the course and outcome of our perception and thinking.

Weekly Outline
The class begins with an orientation to the many factors, mostly unconscious, which affect our perception of anything we see or read, including The Urantia Book.
Frames of reference affect the way we communicate ideas, assess data, and even how we behave. Our context or 'frame' for viewing the world of people and things selectively constrains the course and outcome of our perception and thinking.
After this introduction, we will examine several perspectives from which we may we study The Urantia Book and, by so doing, expand our understanding of the book and of the purposes and methods of its authors.
Looking forward, this course is the first of the classes in this series. The second is “Perspectives on Urantia Book Study 2 – Revelation in History: The Evolutionary Context for Epochal Revelation,” which will be offered later in the year.
