Matthew, Gift of Yahweh  ·  The Gospel Voices, Book One

Four Voices.
Four Gospels.

Each book gives voice to the figure traditionally understood to stand behind one of the four Gospels — narrating in hindsight, with the depth of understanding that long years of reflection produce. The four books trace an arc from narrative action toward mystical contemplation.

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 testimony — raw, physical, and faithful — passed through the organizing intelligence of a young scribe. Peter's arc: from indiscriminate gathering to the miracle-worker's specific and liberating sight.

Book Three

The Physician's
Eye

Narrated by Luke the Physician, written to Theophilus

A Greek physician who came to the story from the outside discovers there is no outside. Every case he has treated was a variation of the same underlying condition — and the condition has a cure.

Book Four

In the
Beginning

Narrated by the Disciple Whom Jeshua Loved

The last one writing. The longest waiting. He begins before time, ends after the pen is set down, and leaves a single claim: the light was never overcome. It is still shining.

The Scholar's Companion

Beneath the literary fiction lies a systematic scholarly catalog — one of the most remarkable resources ever assembled at the intersection of the King James Bible and A Course in Miracles.

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: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Approximately 181 catalog entries. Every citation verified against a physical copy of the text. A three-tier verification system distinguishing AI-retrieved passages from human-certified ones.

This is not a concordance. It is a map of a conversation between two texts separated by two thousand years — showing exactly where ACIM quotes, paraphrases, corrects, and reframes the Gospel tradition it emerged from.

It is offered here as a free downloadable resource for Christians, ACIM students, scholars, retreat leaders, and anyone who wants to understand what these two texts are actually saying to each other.

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, and the Scholar's Companion as the basis for reflection, discussion, and contemplation. The format is designed to be 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.

"For Christians seeking a deeper hearing. For ACIM students ready to encounter the texts their Course quotes throughout."

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.

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.

"The account is addressed to those who sit at their own customs tables, surrounding by the evidence of their own compromise, hearing a silence they have long since stopped trying to explain."
