Wikipedia's article on A Course in Miracles, covering Helen Schucman's claimed inner dictation of the text between 1965 and 1972, William Thetford's and Kenneth Wapnick's roles, the 1976 first publication by the Foundation for Inner Peace, and the outcome of the Penguin Books USA v. New Christian Church of Full Endeavor copyright litigation. Useful for the plain biographical and publication spine; not a source for evaluating the Course's own theological claims, which are the movement's own and not independently verified fact.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A continuously revised, community-edited encyclopedia article rather than an authored or peer reviewed work, matching this corpus's settled precedent for Wikipedia citations, useful for verifiable factual detail rather than as independent scholarly authority. NotesCollaboratively edited encyclopedia article, checked directly. Fit for the biographical and publication spine and for the litigation outcome; not fit for evaluating the Course's theological claims themselves.
