As of late last year, our friends at Truthbook.com have either commissioned or obtained 17 paintings that depict the life and teachings of Jesus as portrayed in The Urantia Book. By the close of 2011 they expect to have at least 20 paintings in the collection. The one painting below was recently completed and depicts the scene of Jesus ministering to Ganid during a severe illness, while father Gonad looks on. They envision that someday this collection will be in a museum where people can view the paintings and put a head set on to hear the exact scenes being read from The Urantia Book, and when possible, the New Testament.

"The time is ripe to witness the figurative resurrection of the human Jesus from his burial tomb amidst the theological traditions and the religious dogmas of nineteen centuries. Jesus of Nazareth must not be longer sacrificed to even the splendid concept of the glorified Christ. What a transcendent service if, through this revelation, the Son of Man should be recovered from the tomb of traditional theology and be presented as the living Jesus to the church that bears his name, and to all other religions!" 196:1.2
