This edition of A Course in Miracles is called the "Original Edition" because it is the revision originally undertaken by Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford and completed in 1972. The manuscript of the "Original Edition" was discovered in 1999 and first published in 2006 by the Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). A Course in Miracles - a spiritual masterpiece - is devoted to teachings about who we are, our relationship with God, and our relationship with one another. The Course consists of three parts: the TEXT, WORKBOOK, and TEACHER'S MANUAL. The TEXT contains the theoretical foundations of the Course's metaphysical system. The WORKBOOK consists of 365 lessons to be practiced daily to retrain our minds and heal our perceptions. Finally, the TEACHER'S MANUAL contains information for and about teachers of God. This eBook is the TEXTBOOK containing the theoretical foundations that make the lessons in the Workbook meaningful. The restoration of previously lost passages and the reproduction of the text in its original order give the original author a presence that is somewhat lacking in later editions. In studying the "Original Edition," course students often find new clarity and deeper understanding as they read the original language. We trust that studying the TEXTBOOK will delight you.
