Why should not the person who put The Urantia Papers in written English be known?
The authors of the Books of the Bible are known. The book itself tells how The Urantia Papers came to be. (See citations on the back of the dust jacket of the Urantia Book.) The reason given us for not disclosing the identity of the subject employed in this transaction was: We do not want future generations to be concerned with the adoration of a Saint Peter or Saint Paul, a Luther, Calvin, or Wesley. We want no individual to be exalted by The Urantia Papers. The book should stand on its own nature and worth. We all tend to revere our religious leaders. Remember how the Edenites wanted to fall down and worship Adam and Eve. Speaking of the resident governor general, on Page 1252 of the Urantia Book, it says, “The name of the current planetary supervisor is withheld from you only because mortal man is so prone to worship, even to deify, his extraordinary compatriots and superhuman superiors.” As for the books of the Bible, we do not know the real authors of many of these sacred writings
