The Alignment of the Spiral Stairwell looking UP
i recommend this book for A Course In Miracles (ACIM) students who have completed the Course.Ever experience something during the day that resonated with what you learned from the Course as Truth?Ever read the ACIM text and get "lost" in the terminology?The book helps maximize what you have learned on a term.IE abundance, alter, atonement, child, Christmas, illusion, laughter, periods of unsettling, questions, sickness & toys.All major terms are covered; first by a simple clear definition and then by more detailed references such as dream, fear, gap, guilt, idols, sin, time, war and world for the term "TOY".These references cover all aspects of the Course including "The Song of Prayer".Ken Wapnick, the author, views the Course as a ladder that takes on a spiral upward.When looking up a term in this book, it is like looking up a spiral stair and seeing all the terms in vertical alignment.It is a thrill!

Invaluable resource in clarifying Course definitions
This book could really be called the "Glossary, Index, and Dictionary for A Course In Miracles." As any Course student knows, A COURES IN MIRACLES has its own definition for most words it uses, and often the definitions are the opposite of common usage. The word "miracle" itself has a different definition in the Course: "the change of mind that shifts our perception from the ego's world of sin, guilt, and fear, to the Holy Spirit's world of forgiveness; reverses projection by restoring to the mind its causative function, allowing us to choose again; transcends the laws of this world to reflect the laws of God; accomplished by our joining with the Holy Spirit or Jesus, being the means of healing our own and others' minds. (Note - not to be confused with the traditional understanding of miracles as changes in external phenomena)." - Page 152

Many other words and phrases found in A COURSE IN MIRACLES are defined here, around 200 in all. Examples of words and phrases defined are: Atonement, sin, Christ, mind, Holy Spirit, Holy Relationship, form-content, forgiveness, illusion, lilies, looking at the ego, "ideas leave not their source," Jesus, and many more. Each word or phrase that is defined has a corresponding index of where the words appear within A COURSE IN MIRACLES.

This book starts with a six page description of Course theory, and even has a graph to describe the theory of how A COURSE IN MIRACLES addresses two levels of reality: Level 1 (Heaven and the non-dual world of God, which is ultimately the only reality), Level 2 (the physical world in which we live, which is ultimately illusory). The book ends with an index to all Bible references in A COURSE IN MIRACLES.

The edition of this book that I have is the 1999 5th edition, which is paperback and is 349 pages long. ... Read more

Product Description
The interplay between science and religion in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries is an extremely complex historical topic which has led to an abundant second literature, characterized by many debates and interpretations. This book is intended to help students at various levels of expertise in several fields find their way and make use of this flood of secondary literature. The book, in the annotations, treats the following topics: Historiography; the Magic, Alchemical, and Prisca Traditions; Protestantism and the Rise of Modern Science; Christianity, Social Ideals, Ideology and Science; Social Institutions, Science and Christianity; Religion, Technology, Architecture and the Environment; Theology, Philosophy, and Science; Natural Theology and Natural Philosophy; Heretical Christianity, Deism, and Atheism; Science, the Bible, And Literature; Religion and Medicine; and Newtonian Studies. The major part of this book consists of an annotated bibliography of books and articles arranged alphabetically by author. This is followed by unannotated lists of bibliographies and doctoral dissertations. Three indexes are included: topical, relating each work to one or more broad topical categories; an index of persons who wrote or worked in the period under review; and an index of authors and editors of works cited in the bibliography. Initially designed for students, this guide can be used by non-specialists interested in science and religion. ... Read more

Incredible
Expecting a mush of barely discernible religious studies commentary, I found instead an easy-to-read, balanced discussion of especailly important scholars to me such as Reijer Hooykaas, Richard Westfall (his later work on Newton is apparently balanced and spectacular), and H. Floris Cohen.

Checking Ronald L. Numbers's p. 4. comments from Science and Christianity in Pulpit and Pew (2007), I see that his comments there are outside the pale with regards to the majority of scholars on both Westfall and Hooykaas.Where most historians science would embrace the work of the mature Hooykaas and soft-peddle the work of the young Westfall, Numbers does just the opposite.Numbers really is off his rocker a bit in his book Science and Christianity in Pulpit and Pew.No question.

Invaluable source of reference
Needless to say, this is a highly subject-specific bibliography, and if you ever happen to be researching on Science and Religion issues in 17th century England (primarily), it is very useful! ... Read more
