A Course in Miracles Original Edition: LARGE PRINT Edition

This LARGE PRINT edition is the second printing 2021 of A Course in Miracles Original Edition: LARGE PRINT Edition, published by the Course in Miracles Society (CIMS).

The Original Edition reflects the scribing originally undertaken by Helen Schucman and William (Bill) Thetford and completed in 1972. The manuscript underlying this edition was first published in 2006 by the Course in Miracles Society (CIMS). This “Original Edition” restores passages that had been removed or altered and presents the material in its original sequence.

The Course is presented in three parts: the Text, the Workbook for Students, and the Manual for Teachers. The Text sets forth the theoretical foundation of the Course’s metaphysical thought system. The Workbook contains 365 daily lessons designed to retrain the mind and heal perception. The Manual for Teachers offers guidance for those who choose to deepen their learning through teaching. This complete volume brings together all three sections in a single LARGE PRINT edition.

This LARGE PRINT Edition paperback is available for those who experience eye strain while reading or have to squint to focus on the fine print. To keep this Large Print edition as light and manageable as possible, it is printed on high-quality Bible-style paper. While a slight show-through from the opposite side of the page may be noticeable, this special paper keeps the book remarkably lightweight despite its large-print format and extensive page count.

Helen Schucman (1909-1981) was a clinical psychologist and research associate at Columbia University. She is best known for her role in the scribing of A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text that emerged through a collaborative process and was later organized and edited for publication.

William N. Thetford (1923-1988) was a professor of psychology and department chair at Columbia University. He collaborated closely with Helen Schucman in the organization, editing, and preparation of A Course in Miracles for publication.
