I recently came across two rather disturbing but very interesting, well-written books that shed light on the early years of the Urantia movement. These are “The Religious Crisis of the 1960s” by Hugh McLeod, and “The Origins, Nature, and Significance of the Jesus Movement” by Kevin John Smith.

 

Both books focus on religious and cultural transformations taking place in America, Europe, and Australia between 1957 and the late 1970s.
