Kenneth Wapnick helped edit the book and founded the Foundation for A Course in Miracles. Fr. Benedict Groeschel, a Roman Catholic priest who had studied under Thetford and worked with Schucman, introduced Kenneth Wapnick to Schucman and Thetford in November 1972.
The underlying premise is that the greatest " miracle " is the act of simply gaining a full "awareness of love's presence" in a person's life. Schucman said that the book had been dictated to her, word for word, via a process of "inner dictation " from Jesus Christ. The book is considered to have borrowed from New Age movement writings.
The content of A Course in Miracles is presented in the three sections: "Textbook", "Workbook", and "Manual for Teachers": The "Textbook" presents a thought system about truth and illusion on two levels: It states that everything involving time, space, and perception is illusory.
Two associated works have been noted as extensions of A Course in Miracles. Author Gary Renard's The Disappearance of the Universe, first published in 2003, and Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love, published in 1992.
