"This is a course in miracles.
It is a required course.
Only the time you take it is voluntary".

WHAT IS A COURSE IN MIRACLES?

The Course is the result of the collaboration between two Columbia University psychologists:  Dr. William T. Thetford and his colleague, Dr. Helen Schucman.

In 1965, Helen experienced what she described as a Voice which spoke clearly in her mind, saying  "This is a course in miracles. Please take notes." Helen took down over a period of seven years  some 1,500 type written pages which became A Course in Miracles.

The 'original edition' is the unabridged volume of the Course as it was completed by Schucman and Thetford in 1972.
