Visions Or Seizures

The Allegation

In 1981, for instance, Delbert H. Hodder, a pediatrician with a special interest in pediatric neurology, wrote in Evangelica (a magazine now defunct) that Ellen White’s visions were “consistent with what is now known as partial-complex or psychomotor seizures.” ² Four years later Molleurus Couperus, a retired dermatologist, made a similar allegation in an article in Adventist Currents when he said that Ellen White’s visions were due to “temporal lobe epilepsy.” ³ ViOSe 5.5

Since Hodder’s and Couperus’s claims are so similar, they will, with some exceptions, be treated as one in this study. ViOSe 5.6
