"A Personalist Cosmology" by David Kantor

  • $ 10.00

A Personalist Cosmology – Orientation to the Core Theology of The Urantia Book by David Kantor. Total 61 pages. Copyright 2026.

Copies in new condition. Available in limited quantities.

Who This Brief Monograph is For–The Urantia Book provides an extensive cosmology that complements thought from the major schools of personalism, adding depth and dimension to theology's most spiritually fruitful domain of inquiry. If you are comfortable with theological reflection and are interested in becoming more familiar with The Urantia Book, this volume is your entry point.

A Personalist Cosmology also will provide a range of new insights for experienced readers of The Urantia Book who have lived with it long enough to sense that its deepest gift is not a set of isolated teachings, but a coherent world—an inhabitable architecture of reality that can be entered, tested, and slowly internalized. This volume is intended to provide a credible entry point for conversation: a way to bring Urantia Book concepts into responsible dialog with theologically and philosophically informed skeptics or seekers.

After reading this book you will be better equipped to:
  1. Explore The Urantia Book as a model of reality apart from belief or rejection of its claims
  2. Value structure as a precursor to understanding detail
  3. Grasp the essence of The Urantia Book using common philosophical and theological language
  4. Avoid becoming lost in The Urantia Book’s encyclopedic surface
This volume will not:
  1. Summarize The Urantia Book
  2. Argue for its authority or truth
  3. Require you to replace existing theological commitments
  4. Rely on circular Urantia Book self-referencing arguments
  5. Require acquiescence to The Urantia Book as revelation
Extensive reference material–In addition to a glossary, appendices provide valuable background on personalism, including comparisons between Orthodox-Trinitarian, Catholic, and The Urantia Book's Relational-Ontological Personalism. A bibliography is provided as well as a taxonomy of Orthodox and Catholic contributors to the evolution of personalis thought.

If you are interested in the confluence of The Urantia Book, personalism, and contemporary theological dialog, this book is for you.

About the Author
David Kantor is an author, filmmaker, and digital media producer whose work is dedicated to fostering thoughtful engagement with The Urantia Book. A reader since 1966, he has created books, feature-length documentaries, websites, conference presentations, workshops, and technical papers related to the study and dissemination of the text.

His media work began in the late 1970s with Cosmic Pilgrim Productions, the multimedia division of the Family of God Foundation, where he produced slide-tape presentations for regional and international Urantia conferences. As digital media developed, his work expanded into web publishing, streaming media, and online educational resources. He also served as an associate editor for the Urantia Press publication The Untold Story of Jesus.

In 2012, Kantor founded Urantia Book Films under the auspices of Rocky Mountain Spiritual Fellowship to develop public-facing media introducing The Urantia Book and its teachings. His feature-length multilingual documentary Re-Imagining Jesus was filmed on location in Israel and Jordan. Following the emergence of AI-assisted image generation, he began exploring new methods of visual storytelling and released When Stories Die: Christianity’s Crisis and the Urantia Revelation in 2025. The UrantiaBookFilms website serves as an archive of his writings on the study and dissemination of The Urantia Book, with links to online versions of his films.

During his term as chair of the Urantia Book Fellowship’s International Fellowship Committee, Kantor participated in supporting reader conferences in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Lithuania, and Russia.
