Matthew, Gift of Yahweh  ·  Book One

"For Christians seeking a deeper hearing. For ACIM students ready to encounter the texts their Course quotes throughout. For anyone who has been sitting at their own customs table, waiting."

The Series

Four Voices. Four Gospels.
One Arc of Deepening Understanding.

Each book gives voice to the figure traditionally understood to stand behind one of the four Gospels, narrating in the first person and in hindsight, with the depth of understanding that long years of reflection produce. Begin with Matthew. The others are coming.

Matthew, Gift of Yahweh
Book One

Matthew, Gift of Yahweh

Narrated by Levi bar-Alpheus, called Matthew

A tax collector whose entire identity was built on keeping accounts discovers that the ledger was always empty, and that his name meant something he had not understood until the very end.

Book Two

The Weight of the Net

Narrated by Simon bar-Jonah, called Peter

A fisherman's raw testimony passed through the organizing intelligence of a young scribe. Peter's arc: from indiscriminate gathering to the miracle-worker's specific and liberating sight. The net gathers without discriminating. Jeshua teaches him to use his eyes instead.

Book Three

The Physician's Eye

Narrated by Luke the Physician, written to Theophilus

A Greek physician who came to the story from outside discovers there is no outside. Every patient's presenting complaint conceals the same underlying condition. The condition has been treated. He sets down his notes for the one who loves God and is not sure they are loved in return.

Forthcoming
Book Four

In the Beginning

Narrated by the Disciple Whom Jeshua Loved

The last one writing. He goes furthest back, before time, before Abraham, before the first word. He sets down the pen with a single claim: the light that shines in the darkness has not been overcome. It is still shining.

The Scholar's Companion

A Phenomenal Resource for Christians,
ACIM Students, and Spiritual Seekers of All Types

The ACIM-KJV Gospel Catalog documents, verse by verse, every point of contact between the KJV Gospels and the FIP edition of A Course in Miracles across all four Gospels. Approximately 181 catalog entries. Every citation verified against a physical copy of the text. A three-tier system distinguishing AI-retrieved passages from human-certified ones.

This is not a concordance. It is a map of an active, specific conversation between two texts separated by two thousand years, showing exactly where ACIM quotes, paraphrases, corrects, and reframes the Gospel tradition it emerged from. Whether you come from the Christian tradition, the ACIM community, or simply a hunger for the deep conversation between these extraordinary texts, this catalog is for you. Free. Always.

181 Catalog Entries

All four Gospels with Direct Quotes, Near-Quotes, Clear Allusions, and honest gaps where no match exists. The most comprehensive ACIM-KJV mapping ever assembled.

Three-Tier Verification

AI retrieves. Human certifies. Every entry carries a verification level. Every batch of verifications found at least one correction, which is why the system exists.

FIP Edition Standard

All citations use the Foundation for Inner Peace paragraph-and-sentence notation, accessible at miraclecenter.org for side-by-side comparison.

Retreat & Classroom Ready

Designed for use alongside the Gospel Voices series in study groups, retreats, and continuing education settings. Includes comparative commentary for teaching.

ACIM's Most-Quoted Verses

Discover which Gospel verses ACIM returns to most often, and what the Course does differently with them. Made visible for the first time in one place.

The Living Conversation

ACIM does not merely reference the Gospels. It argues with them, reframes them, corrects apostolic fear, and insists on what Jesus actually meant. The catalog shows you exactly where.

Classes & Retreats

The Gospel Voices
Retreat Experience

The Gospel Voices series was written not only to be read but to be taught, to serve as the basis for retreats and classes that bring together Christians and ACIM students in a shared encounter with the texts both traditions hold sacred.

A Gospel Voices retreat moves through one of the four books together, using the narrative, the ACIM parallels from the Scholar's Companion, and guided reflection as the basis for conversation and contemplation. The format is equally welcoming to longtime Christians who have never encountered ACIM, and to ACIM students who have kept the Gospels at arm's length.

Both communities discover they have been reading the same conversation from different sides of the same room.

Retreats are available in hybrid format, combining in-person gathering with online participation, making them accessible to participants across geographic distances.

Led by Alwyn S. Whitehead Jr., Psy.D., whose forty years of clinical practice and decades of engagement with both traditions inform every session.

About the Author

Alwyn S. Whitehead Jr., Psy.D.

Alwyn S. Whitehead Jr., Psy.D.

Alwyn S. Whitehead Jr., Psy.D., is a psychologist and scholar whose work spans clinical practice, theological study, and the intersection of Christian scripture with contemplative spiritual teaching. He has spent decades in careful dialogue with both the King James Bible and A Course in Miracles, and this series is the fruit of that sustained engagement.

The Gospel Voices series grew from a conviction that the four Gospels and ACIM are not simply compatible documents but documents in active, specific conversation with one another, and that the conversation has not yet been heard in its fullest form. Each book gives voice to the figure traditionally understood to stand behind one of the four Gospels, allowing that narrator to speak in hindsight and with the depth of understanding that long years of reflection produce.

Alongside the literary fiction, Dr. Whitehead has built a systematic scholarly catalog documenting every point of contact between the KJV Gospel text and the FIP edition of A Course in Miracles, with each citation verified against a physical copy of the text. This catalog is available as a free resource at this site.

He is also the author of The Living Voice of Jesus, a devotional non-fiction work pairing KJV scripture with the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles.

Dr. Whitehead practices in the St. Louis, Missouri area, where he leads retreats and classes at the intersection of psychology, Christian scripture, and contemplative spirituality.
