Description

This edition of A Course in Miracles is known as the Original Edition, reflecting the revision originally undertaken by Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford and completed in 1972. The manuscript underlying this edition was rediscovered in 1999 and first published in 2006 by the Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). The Course is presented in three parts: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers.

The Text presents the theoretical foundation of the Course’s metaphysical thought system. It addresses fundamental questions about the nature of reality, the mind, forgiveness, and our relationship with God and with one another. Through its distinctive language and thought structure, the Text provides the conceptual framework upon which the Course’s practical teachings rest.

This eBook edition presents the Text as it appears in the Original Edition, restoring passages that were later removed or altered and preserving the material in its original sequence. Many students find that studying the Text in this form offers greater clarity and a deeper appreciation of the Course’s original language and intent. It is our hope that engaging with this work will be both illuminating and transformative.
