Wikipedia's article on The Urantia Book, covering the claimed celestial origin of its text, William S. Sadler's Forum and Contact Commission, the Urantia Foundation's 1955 publication, and the movement's later institutional split. Useful for the origin story and publication spine; not a source for the book's own cosmological and religious claims, which are the movement's own and not independently verified fact.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on The Urantia Book, a continuously revised tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author or peer review process, hence the lower tier, though useful here for the text's publication history and claimed origin. NotesCollaboratively edited encyclopedia article, checked directly. Fit for the origin story and publication spine; the legal history is corroborated against the two case-law sources cited separately.
