Q: What relationship has Joshua Ben Joseph with Jesus Christ of Nazareth?

Thanks so much for your note to us here at TruthBook.

Joshua ben Joseph and Jesus Christ are in fact one and the same person. Joshua ben Joseph was Jesus’ given name at birth, he grew up being known as Joshua (son of Joseph). He was only later called Jesus by the Greeks, Jesus being the Greek form of Joshua.

Throughout Part IV of The Urantia Book, you will see the name Joshua and the name Jesus even in the same paragraph. Actually, Joshua (Jesus) was named for the Biblical Joshua, whose story you can read HERE

I hope you’ll take some time to read more about Jesus, starting HERE, which is our page from which all things Jesus can be found—and The Urantia Book contains a wealth of information about Jesus (aka Michael of Nebadon) which will help you to formulate a very good concept of this God/man who is the world’s savior. And thanks so much for writing.
