Ellen G. White
Ellen Gould White (née Harmon; November 26, 1827 – July 16, 1915) was a prolific author and an American Christian pioneer. Along with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, she formed what became known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The ''Smithsonian'' magazine named Ellen G. White among 100 Most Significant Americans〔http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonianmag/meet-100-most-significant-americans-all-time-180953341/〕 in an acknowledgement of her influence on religion.〔(''Ellen G. White Named Among 100 Most Significant Americans'' ) Adventist Review〕〔http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonianmag/meet-100-most-significant-americans-all-time-180953341/?no-ist〕
Ellen White reported her visionary experiences to her fellow believers. James White and others of the Adventist pioneers viewed these experiences as the Biblical gift of prophecy as outlined in and which describe the testimony of Jesus as the "spirit of prophecy". Her ''Conflict of the Ages'' series of writings endeavor to showcase the hand of God in Biblical history and in church history. This cosmic conflict, referred to by Seventh-day Adventist theologians as the "Great Controversy theme", became foundational to the development of Seventh-day Adventist theology.
White was considered a somewhat controversial figure, with much of the controversy centering on her reports of visionary experiences and on the use of other sources in her writings. She experienced her first vision soon after the Millerite Great Disappointment of 1844.〔Adventist History Library's (Ellen White's First Vision ) includes the various printed editions of her first vision.〕 Historian Randall Balmer has described White as "one of the more important and colorful figures in the history of American religion". Walter Martin described her as "one of the most fascinating and controversial personages ever to appear upon the horizon of religious history". Arthur L. White, her grandson and biographer, writes that Ellen G. White is the most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender. Her writings covered creationism, agriculture, theology, evangelism, Christian lifestyle, education and health. She advocated vegetarianism. She promoted and was instrumental in the establishment of schools and medical centers. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books. more than 100 White titles are available in English, including compilations from her 100,000 pages of manuscript. Some of her most famous books include ''The Desire of Ages'', ''The Great Controversy'' and ''Steps to Christ''. Her work on successful Christian living, ''Steps to Christ'', has been published in more than 140 languages.
