About the author
Born in Indiana in 1875, William Samuel Sadler built a varied career as an American physician, surgeon, psychiatrist, lecturer, and author. He studied in the Adventist and medical worlds before earning his medical degree, and over time became known for writing and speaking about health, mental life, and religion for general readers.
Sadler published widely, with books and lectures aimed at explaining medicine and psychology in accessible terms rather than only for specialists. Later in life, he became especially associated with the circle that produced and published The Urantia Book, a connection that remains one of the main reasons he is still discussed today.
He died in Chicago in 1969. His life stands out for the unusual mix of mainstream medical work, public education, and spiritual controversy that shaped both his reputation and his legacy.
