How to look up passages used in essays in source materials:
The URANTIA Book
In referring quotations from The URANTIA Book, I will follow the convention of The URANTIA Book Concordance (1993). The page number is given in four digits followed by a colon and the number of the paragraph on the page in two digits, with an incomplete paragraph at the beginning of the page, and also any section title appearing in capital letters, numbered “00.” Example: 0734:03
A Course in Miracles
The quotation conventions for ACIM are complex so we have them at the bottom of each essay that has a ACIM quote.
Example: Quote from A Course in Miracles, T-in.1:1-8;2:1-4
- T—from the Text Volume
- in—from the Introduction (precedes Chapter 1)
- Chapter Number: none
- Section Letter: none
- Paragraph Number: 1st paragraph was 1, followed by : and the sentence numbers; 2nd paragraph was 2, followed by : and the sentence numbers
- Sentence Number or range of numbers like this: 1-8 (for paragraph 1), i.e. sentences 1 through 8 were quoted; 1-4 (for paragraph 2), i.e. sentences 1 through 4 were quoted
- all the above is exceedingly confusing—this is simply the entire introduction to the Text
