The book, often referred to by its students and followers as simply The Course, is written in first person in the voice of Jesus. It was first published in 1976 as a three volume set and has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide in 14 different languages.
The Course is written in Christian terminology and its subject aims to teach how to attain the direct personal experience of God. On the level of spiritual or religious belief, its stated purpose is to aid the individual in "removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence."

The book goes into great detail to elucidate the exact nature and means for the comprehension and application of this spiritual principle.

In this process, Schucman describes herself as having been the scribe of the work, but not its author.

Its students tend to be quite individualistic and varied, coming from a number of differing religious and philosophical backgrounds.
