Translating
A Course in Miracles
Genesis & Timeline
Between
1982, at the genesis of the translation program of the Foundation
for Inner Peace, and 2009, the date of this brief summary of the
translation process, management of the translations has been a
partnership between Dr. William W. Whitson (pictured

representing the Foundation for Inner Peace, and Dr. Kenneth Wapnick
(pictured on right), representing the Foundation for A
Course in Miracles. As time went by, Dr. Whitson assumed primary responsibility
for selecting and financing translators and arranging for publication
while Dr. Wapnick was responsible for teaching and training all
the translators in the meaning of the Course. Together, those
two people guided the evolution of eighteen translations, each
translator requiring between five and ten years to complete the
work.
