Book excerpt: This study weaves passages various from A Course in Miracles into a comprehensive theory of time. In three parts, the book first explains the holographic though illusory nature of time. It next discusses the plan of the Atonement, the role of the miracle and forgiveness, and the time collapse they foster. The third part discusses the end of time, and includes the Course's concepts of the real world, the Second Coming, the Last Judgment, and finally God's last step.
