Jesus Christ, undoubtedly was the man who influenced the presently known human history to the highest level. He is also the living divine son of the Almighty God who is believed to be the sole savior of human kind by the billions of Christians now. Jesus is the central theme of the Holy Bible.
Jesus or Isa Nabi is also the most venerated prophet of Islam whose life story is well narrated in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran asserts that Jesus in reality was a non human messenger of God who was born as a human in a very miraculous manner and gives more importance to his miraculous powers than his life as a powerless human being. The Quran strongly refutes Christian story of Jesus' death on the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of mankind and also the claim that Jesus is the only begotten son of the Almighty God. Muslims also strongly refute the Christian veneration of Jesus Christ as the second member of the Holy Trinity.
There are many other narrations that tell about this holy man of Jerusalem who was born in a manger, lived a short life of 33 years and crucified by the then Roman government for blasphemy as accused by religious elders of his own Hebrew community, some 2000 years ago.
He is the divine savior and God for his followers. There are many who refute his divinity. But all of them agree to one thing that he was indeed a simple, sinless human being.
But the written narrations in the Bible, the Quran and all other books that human authors of various times had written contain only short descriptions. What Jesus did during his childhood and adulthood are pretty unknown and unwritten.
Who was Jesus in reality? Was he divine? Was he an incarnation of God's divine son on earth? Was he a sacrificial lamb for pacifying an angry God? Was he just an angel who took the human form? Was he a historical personality or were all those stories about him just myths?
If he real what did he teach in reality? What was his real mission?
For nearly two thousand years we had no answers to all these questions other than what was narrated in the religious holy books of the Christians and the Muslims. Of course we also had many books and writing by several saints, religious scholars and historians.
But none of those were enough to answer the curiosity of a probing human mind. Several like me secretly wished to know more and perhaps more authentically.
And thankfully our wish came fulfilled half a century ago when the most marvelous book containing divinely revealed truths got published. I am thankfully indebted to God for making me find that book and read it. And it is the Urantia Book, my precious book of life guidance. And there now exist a minuscule group of curious fans of this book of truth revelation who spend some time reading, studying and discussing the various aspects of the revealed truths.
While we enjoy the benefits of our newly found divinely revealed truths, we also realize the hard truth that the majority of our human brothers and sisters do not yet have come to the privilege of knowing what we have known. We also realize the bitter truth that this majority in this world as on today do not have either the facility to get to know or the broad-mindedness and intellectual capacity to understand the vast revealed knowledge that the Urantia Book contains.
Yet all of us, the fascinated and curious students and readers of the Urantia Book across the world agree to one thing- that it is the fourth part of the Urantia Book covering 'the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ' is undoubtedly the best part for any one to start exploring the book.
This new book now published as 'the Untold Story of Jesus' is as a result of that realization by a few dedicated team of the Urantia Book Readers' Fellowship. It is no doubt the fourth part of the Urantia Book. But what is new in this new book is a much simpler and appealing introduction and beautiful colored illustrations.
I am happy to mention here that this new publication is the effort and hard work of my friends-Mo Siegel, Mary Jo Garascia and Jim from the Urantia Book Reader community who are scholars of the book. This new book is essentially part-iv of the Urantia Book with much illustration and a more appealing print presentation.
The grace of the narration as covered in this book is something one should read and experience. The reader will no doubt feel the presence of Jesus Christ and that is something to be experienced.
It is a book that should be in the home library for all those book lovers.
