The Urantia Book is a published text containing spiritual and philosophical teachings, believed by some to have been transmitted by celestial beings. The Urantia Papers are the original manuscripts on which The Urantia Book is based. The Papers are said to have been authored by celestial beings but were later compiled and edited to create The Urantia Book.

A concept derived from the story of Melchizedek in the Urantia Book:

About 4000 years ago, this priest of Salem declared "I am Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon, the Most High, the one and only God" (93:2.1). A decade later, Melchizedek sent an invitation to Abraham, saying "Come to Salem, where you shall hear our teachings of the truth of the eternal Creator" (93:5.5).

"And this preacher of a supernal God never ceased to proclaim this God of love. 'I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of contrite and humble spirit.' And once again did the fear-destroying gospel of Melchizedek shine forth for the blessing of mankind" (97:7.12).

In the spirit of Melchizedek, our planet's third epochal revelation, this "Urantia Blessing" has again appeared with the arrival of our fifth epochal revelation, the Urantia Papers. The Papers were received in the early decades of the 20th century then compiled later to create the Urantia Book, first published in 1955.

This new concept of "the Urantia Blessing" (theUB) includes all five epochal revelations as described in the Urantia Papers: "There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance" (92:4.4).

These five epochal revelations begin with the Dalamatian teachings (early humans) and are followed consecutively by the Edenic teachings (Adam and Eve), Melchizedek of Salem, Jesus of Nazareth and the Urantia Papers.

This question has long been answered by Paper 92 of the Urantia Papers. In particular, the first Urantia Book did not exist when the words of 92:4.4 were written:

"There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance":

1. The Dalamatian teachings. (early humans)

2. The Edenic teachings. (Adam and Eve)

3. Melchizedek of Salem.

4. Jesus of Nazareth. (Christ Michael)

5. The Urantia Papers.

So, Urantia Book can only be "the human compilation of the Urantia Papers into book format." Seemingly, an insignificant point unless in the future the Book becomes sacred to some readers, since as "Papers" that sacredness is not easily assigned (and perhaps why the revelators chose "Papers" for 92:4.4 knowing that "Book" would be the first published format).
