A Course in Miracles is a complete self-study spiritual thought system. As a three-volume curriculum consisting of a Preface, Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers, it teaches that the way to universal love and peace—or remembering God—is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. The Course thus focuses on the healing of relationships and making them holy. A Course in Miracles also emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum, of which there are "many thousands." Consequently, even though the language of the Course is that of traditional Christianity, it expresses a non-sectarian, non-denominational spirituality. A Course in Miracles therefore is a universal spiritual teaching, not a religion.
The teachings of the Course have been compared to the fundamental premises of Eastern religion, it utilizes, however, a traditional Christian terminology. J. Gordon Melton[1] notes that it has been most popular among those who have been disillusioned by organized Christianity. Melton and Wouter Hanegraaff[2] have called it the most obvious choice for the single text that is "sacred scripture" in the New Age[3] movement.[5][6] Since it first became available for sale in 1976, over 1.5 million copies have sold worldwide in sixteen different languages.[4]
