What is the Joshua ben Joseph Project?

The Joshua ben Joseph Project seeks to produce several sets of materials for use by readers of The Urantia Book.

1. An archive of high-definition video and photographic resources for use by the readership community in the creation of study aids and as a general reference resource for students of Part 4 of The Urantia Book.
2. A documentary providing orientation to the geography and current archaeological work being done relative to the stories in Part 4 of The Urantia Book.
3. A documentary dramatizing key elements of the life and teachings of Jesus.
4. A documentary which can be used by readers as an outreach tool in their local communities.
5. An updated generation of maps providing background for Part 4 studies.
6. A bibliography of suggested study materials.
   

We will be filming in Israel mid-April and early May of this year. In the Autumn we plan to spend two weeks in Jordan filming the cities of the Decapolis and other areas related to The Urantia Book story. If sufficient financial support can be acquired, we'll use helicopters adapted for filming to get aerial views and provide a high-resolution video orientation to the actual landscape.

The project enjoys the support of Urantia University, The Urantia Book Fellowship, and the Boulder School but is being financed by reader contributions. The amount of material we're able to collect is directly proportional to the financial resources that become available to cover related expenses. Contributions can be made on the project website, www.joshua-ben-joseph.org.

You can follow the progress of the project by subscribing to this blog. We intend to blog our actual time in the field so that subscribers can be kept current on filming progress. You can also contribute to the project by letting us know of images or geographic settings you would like to see included in the archive.

Keep in touch -- this is guaranteed to be interesting!
