A Course in Miracles

Genesis & Timeline

William WhitsonKen WapnickBetween 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 on left), 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 nineteen translations, each translator requiring between five and ten years to complete the work.
