A Development of Concepts of //The Urantia Book// [|a book by] [|William S. Sadler, Jr.] =[|Author's Introduction]=

This is the story of the creative and the evolutional expansion of Paradise-Havona divinity into time and space. It is also the story of the consolidation of such expansion; on finite levels in the Supreme, and on absonite levels in the Ultimate. It begins, but cannot finish, the story that goes on beyond the Ultimate.
 * Author's Introduction**

The study is presented in three main parts:
 * The Finite Story
 * The Absonite Story
 * The Beginning of the Last Story

This study properly begins when the past-eternal age of Havona gives way to an age that has an origin in time - the Second Age - the one in which we are now living. This study will have to come to an end not long after the last age of the master universe has closed in time and has given way to an age that is future-eternal.

Actually, what is the master universe? Do we really have much of an understanding of what the Urantia Papers mean when they speak of it? Do we have any proper understanding of how God's purposes are unfolding in the master universe? Do we have an appreciation of the purpose of the master universe itself?
