THE GIFT OF REVELATION
THE GIFT OF REVELATION 92:4.1 Revelation is evolutionary but always progressive. Down through the ages of a world's history, the revelations of religion are ever-expanding and successively more enlightening. It is the mission of revelation to sort and censor the successive religions of evolution. But if revelation is to exalt and upstep the religions of evolution, then must such divine visitations portray teachings which are not too far removed from the thought and reactions of the ag...

THE NATURE OF EVOLUTIONARY RELIGION
THE NATURE OF EVOLUTIONARY RELIGION 92:3.1 The study of human religion is the examination of the fossil-bearing social strata of past ages.

THE LATER EVOLUTION OF RELIGION
THE LATER EVOLUTION OF RELIGION 92:0.1 Man possessed a religion of natural origin as a part of his evolutionary experience long before any systematic revelations were made on Urantia. But this religion of natural origin was, in itself, the product of man's superanimal endowments. Evolutionary religion arose slowly throughout the millenniums of mankind's experiential career through the ministry of the following influences operating within, and impinging upon, savage, barbarian, and civ...
