A Course in Miracles is a modern spiritual teaching that has become the path to God for thousands of people. The Course employs a unique use of language in which it fills familiar terms with new--often radically new--meaning. This has the double effect of making its language initially confusing yet eventually transformative. Hence the need for a glossary, which can help the student graduate from that initial confusion into experiencing the full psychological effect of the Course's language and teaching. Containing nearly 200 definitions of Course terms, word pairs, and phrases, this glossary is intended both for beginning students and more experienced students and can aid both individual and group study.
Robert Perry is internationally known for his work with the modern spiritual classic, 'A Course in Miracles'. One of the Course's most respected teachers, Perry has authored or co-authored nineteen book and booklets on the Course, as well as hundreds of articles, and has lectured throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Perry's goal has been to draw out of the Course a comprehensive understanding of the path that it lays down, to support students in walking that path, and to help establish an enduring spiritual tradition in which students walk the path together. In 1993 he founded the Circle of Atonement in Sedona, Arizona (www.circleofa.org), a nonprofit center that supports students of 'A Course in Miracles' in their understanding and practice of this path.
