Helen Schucman

Schucman is best known for having "scribed" with the help of colleague William Thetford the book A Course in Miracles (first edition, 1975),[1][2] the contents of which she claimed had been given to her by an inner voice she identified as Jesus.

[5] They married on October 18, 1896, in Manhattan, and Schucman had an elder brother, Adolph Cohn,[6] who was almost 12 years her senior.

Louis owned one or more bookstores on "Book Row" in Manhattan,[10] and during the early years of their marriage Schucman worked at his main store.

Hanegraaff continues by specifically characterizing Schucman's case as spontaneous channeling, indicating that "[o]ver the years the voice proved to be remarkably consistent, stopping the dictation when interrupted [by Schucman's daily activities] and continuing at the next opportunity.

During this time, Schucman worked in a collaborative venture with William Thetford in scribing A Course In Miracles (ACIM) and also with its initial edits.

After all the ACIM material had been initially transcribed it was edited for publication by Schucman and the other two primary editors, Thetford and Wapnick.

Schucman also wrote two supplemental ACIM pamphlets[19] by the same process as well as a collection of poetry later published as The Gifts of God.
