El Perdon y Jesus: El Punto de Encuentro Entre Un Curso En Milagros y El Cristianismo

by Kenneth Wapnick

El punto de encuentro entre Un curso en milagros y el cristianismo Kenneth Wapnick, Ph.D. Ahora ha llegado al mundo un sueo distinto: un sueo de la justicia del Espritu Santo en lugar de la pesadilla del ego. Ahora puede el dichoso himno de la salvacin resonar a travs de nosotros desde El hasta todo el mundo que an permanece esclavizado por los pensamientos de pecado. Lo que muri en la cruz fue la creencia en la cruz. Lo que vive es el jubiloso grito de perdn, aclamado con alegra por todos los que elijan vivir con Jess, que esta llamada del amor al amor jams sea silenciada. "Que esta llamada viva, hermanas y hermanos mos," nos pide Jess, "y que viva a travs de vuestro perdn al mundo y a vosotros mismos. Ahora comenzamos de nuevo, y lo que hemos comenzado, Dios Mismo nos ha prometido que El lo concluir." (From the Epilogue)

Many students and would-be students of A Course in Miracles have found the Course's Christian context and emphasis on Jesus problematic, regardless of their own religious background. These problems have interfered with many students' study and understanding of the Course. In response to these difficulties, Forgiveness and Jesus addresses the misunderstandings of traditional Christianity, separating these out from the teachings of the Course, and emphasizes the importance of correcting these errors in the context of the two-thousand-year-old tradition.

Forgiveness and Jesus first discusses in depth the principles of A Course in Miracles, specifically focusing on the dynamics of the ego and the meaning of forgiveness. The book next presents the teachings of Christianity in the light of the principles of the Course, highlighting the similarities and differences. Throughout the book, special attention is given to the application of the Course's principles to important areas in our lives such as injustice, anger, sickness, sexuality, and money. The person of Jesus is also discussed in depth. The Appendix includes an index of names, a subject index, an index of examples, and a scriptural index.

A fine bridge between ACIM and the teachings of Christ as put forth by the Christian religion.
I particularly liked the section where New Testament quotations are expounded on by ACIM.

Amazing, lovable book! Clearly explanation of what does Love mean based on A Course In Miracles book and how to develop this Forgiveness in us.

This is the best book I have read on the psychology of A Course in Miracles, it goes into great depth on the subjects of ego, forgiveness, special relationships etc... Ken if frank and gets right to the point in this book, I think you need a tough hide to read it and not be totally discouraged.

I would recommend reading this book to any serious students of A Course in Miracles. If you haven't found the Course yet then put off reading this book till you do as its descriptions and ideas relate strictly to the world as the Course describes it which is not always the same as commonly held beliefs

Try as I might, this book just doesn't work for me. Lent to me by a friend, it's now on its way home.
