A Course in Wonders is unique in their approach to spirituality, drawing from various religious and metaphysical traditions to present something of believed that aims to lead persons to a state of inner peace, forgiveness, and awakening for their correct nature.

The origins of A Class in Wonders can be tracked back to the effort between two people, Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford, equally of whom were outstanding psychologists and researchers. The course's inception happened in the early 1960s when Schucman, who had been a clinical and research psychologist at Mystical Music University's University of Physicians and Surgeons, began to have a series of inner dictations. She identified these dictations as coming from an internal style that recognized it self as Jesus Christ. Schucman initially resisted these activities, but with Thetford's encouragement, she started transcribing the messages she received.

Over an amount of seven years, Schucman transcribed what can become A Program in Miracles, amounting to three volumes: the Text, the Workbook for Pupils, and the Manual for Teachers. The Text lays out the theoretical basis of the course, elaborating on the core concepts and principles. The Workbook for Students contains 365 lessons, one for every day of the season, made to steer the reader by way of a day-to-day exercise of using the course's teachings. The Guide for Educators provides further guidance on the best way to realize and train the rules of A Program in Miracles to others.

One of the main themes of A Program in Wonders is the thought of forgiveness. The program teaches that correct forgiveness is the key to inner peace and awareness to one's divine nature. Based on their teachings, forgiveness is not merely a ethical or moral practice but a basic shift in perception. It involves allowing get of judgments, issues, and the perception of sin, and alternatively, viewing the world and oneself through the lens of love and acceptance. A Program in Miracles emphasizes that true forgiveness contributes to the recognition that people are all interconnected and that divorce from one another is an illusion.
