Ellen G. White’s Use of Scripture

Frank M. Hasel: It has been aptly stated that Ellen G. White “is the most prolific, most published and most influential author” in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her voluminous work is immersed in biblical thought, and what she wrote is highly indebted to Scripture. Even a casual reader of Ellen G. White’s writings notices how frequently and profusely she refers to the Bible. She not only uses the Bible copiously; her thoughts abound with biblical imagery, and her writings often echo biblical language and ideas. This is reflected in a variety of different ways as she uses the Bible. In this paper we will examine her treatment and use of Scripture as evidenced in numerous instances in her published work.
