When Stories Die: Christianity's Crisis and the Urantia Papers

Scroll down for chapter divisions

This film provides an introduction to the Urantia Papers for progressive clergy and lay leaders concerned with declining church attendance and the continuing deterioration of Christianity's supportive stories. For disillusioned Christians, it provides an introduction to a post-doctrinal world view that expands the transcendent meanings and spiritual values of the Incarnation of Jesus. For experienced readers of the revelation, it provides an engaging perspective on the evolutionary heritage into which the Urantia Papers are being introduced.

Christianity's crisis is the loss of its supportive stories. While Christian spirituality is alive and thriving, the Enlightenment, the Scientific revolution, multiculturalism, secularism, and postmodern philosophy have all eroded Christianity's contextualizing narrative to such an extent that Christianity--as well as contemporary spirituality--has become increasingly existential, marooned in a rapidly expanding cosmos. The morality, religion, and philosophy in our troubled world are increasingly fragmented and subjective. The human Jesus has been lost in a cloud of metaphysical speculation. Social cohesion is rapidly fading. Christianity is adrift without a story linking spirituality with evolutionary experience in time and space.

The Urantia Papers provide a revitalization of the archetypes of the Christian story, along with a compelling vision of a spiritually informed civilization. It gives us an authoritative background review of our planetary origins, anthropological and religious history, and our cosmic destiny.
