With the candidacy of Marianne Williamson and the continued faltering of traditional Christianity, A Course in Miracles has caught the interest of seekers and many in the general public. What exactly is this alternative and personal Christianity that views the world as an illusion? How is it like ancient Gnosticism and how can the works of Philip K. Dick help us understand its theology? We answer these questions and more while exploring the doctrines of ACIM on the afterlife, forgiveness, sin, and salvation.
