The Great Controversy is a novel by Ellen G. White, one of the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and held in esteem as a prophetess of God among Seventh-day Adventist members. In it, White describes the "Great Controversy theme" between Jesus and Satan, as played out over the millennia from its start in heaven, to its final end when the world is destroyed and recreated. Regarding the reason for writing the book, the author reported, "In this vision at Lovett's Grove (in 1858), most of the matter of the Great Controversy which I had seen ten years before, was repeated, and I was shown that I must write it out." The theme of the original small book was expanded first to a four-volume set of books (1870-1884) and then to a separate volume in 1888. The current, 1911 edition is also one of the five-volume Conflict of the Ages set. The 1884, 1888, and 1911 books incorporate historical data from other authors. Since 1957, the book has also been published under the title The Triumph of God's Love. This edition has been formatted for your Kindle, with an active table of contents. It has also been illustrated and annotated, with additional information about the book and its author, including an overview, plot, publishing and distribution, critics, versions, other books in the series, and biographical information.

I am not an Adventist or an Adventist basher.While THE GREAT CONTROVERSY BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN was originally written in the 1880s, the topics remain relevant for today.One of the major topics that runs throughout the book is the Biblical Sabbath, or seventh day Sabbath(Saturday).Mrs. White used a large number of Catholic sources for quotes to expose the origin of Sunday worship.This book also addressed church history and provided brief sketches of some of the Reformation leaders and martyrs throughout history.Her treatment of Luther could be viewed as "generous". She accented the positive and didn't delve into the dark side of Luther.In writing about Tyndale she discussed Bible translations and some of the related inaccuracies.Mrs. White also identified the "mystery of iniquity" that Paul wrote of in II Thessalonians 2:7.The "Historical Dating of Chapter" was a helpful feature in the book.The last part of the book is the author's plausible interpretation of the Great controversy's end.Along with a mountain of Scripture quotes, Mrs. White offered some memorable advice."Those who will not read the lessons from the book of God, are bidden to read it in the history of nations"- page 310."...how dare men teach that the Revelation is a mystery, beyond the reach of human understanding? It is a mystery revealed, a book opened."- page 364."It is not enough to have good intentions; it is not enough to do what a man thinks is right, or what the minister tells him is right. His soul's salvation is at stake, and he should search the Scriptures for himself."- page 635.I found the book to be beautifully written, based on Scripture, and sensible.Read the book for yourself, take the author's advice and compare it with Scripture and decide for yourself.

Though I personally do not subscribe to the doctrine at this time, Ms. White makes a compelling case for "... the infallible authority of the Holy Scriptures as a rule of faith and practice."Modern day Roman Catholics would likely be surprised and alarmed in reading the book; she reveals in some detail the past corruptions of the Roman church and of the papacy and traditions in particular. While today the pope speaks to eliminate the death penalty, in the history of Rome, the popes used not only death, but terrible tortures to promote and protect his power. Her ultimate conclusion is that the Pope of Rome is the beast of Revelations (so Henry Kissinger can relax a bit). The mark of the beast is in setting aside the precepts laid down in scripture for the traditions invented by man (Sunday vs. Saturday worship, infant baptism, indulgences, worship of saints and Mary, ad infinitem).I recommend this book to any fundamentalist, evangelical, or liberal Christian thinker whether Protestant or Catholic, because it raises our awareness how church leaders can loose sight of the path set down by Jesus and instead promote superstitions set out by men who would use them to achieve and retain worldly power.

By A Customer As a History major in a non-SDA school, I have read many books regarding the dark ages and world history. Read American Freedom and Catholic Power by Paul Blanshard. You will see a close parallel. The Great Controversy does show you what is happenning in the religious and the secular world. Just look what happened a few days ago! The pope asked the world for forgiveness of their past sins!Now this is a man who is supposed be God on earth, INFALLIBLE. And he is asking the world for forgiveness?Page 571-- "The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in Christlike garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of the papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The papacy that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity."What are the churches of today doing? They are stumbling over themselves to become associated with the Roman Church.A few years back Harry Truman tried to appoint an ambassador to The Vatican, and was almost run out of office. But, Ron Reagan did it and there was very little outcry from the Protestant churches.The World Lutheran Church just signed a concordat with the Vatican that says that Luther was wrong! The Angelicans have done a similar agreement!One review says that she plagerized. If that is true than someone else said that these things would happen; where do they say exactly what she has said?She said there would be a rise in spiritualism, that the churches would be teaching that the dead go to heaven or hell at their death. This book, based on these two facts alone shows that this writer to be a prophetess! I am amazed at the information she has presented in this book and when I read a newspaper and compare, it is almost as if she wrote the bylines.The newspapers are reading like this book and people are missing it!
