Is A Course in Miracle Compatible with Christianity?

Too Christian for New Age, too New Age for Christians—where does A Course in Miracles really belong? In this episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry take a closer look at one of the most common and controversial questions about the Course. Many Christians see ACIM as “unbiblical” or even dangerous, while many spiritual seekers view its Christian language as outdated or off-putting. So where does the Course really stand? In this discussion, we explore: 

• The Course’s use of Christian language—God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness—and how it reinterprets those terms.
• Key differences between ACIM and traditional Christian doctrine.
• Surprising compatibilities that go beyond language into the heart of the message.
• How the Course might be “more Christian” than its critics (and even many of its students) have realized.

At the Circle of Atonement, we believe ACIM and Christianity are not opposites, but conversation partners—each with something to teach us on our shared path to God.
