The Development of the Seventh-day Adventist Understanding of Ellen G. White??Prophetic Gift 1844-1889

Levterov presents students, academics, researchers, and general-interest readers with an investigation of the process by which early Seventh-day Adventists justified and accepted the prophetic claims of Ellen G. White from 1844 to 1889. The author has organized the main body of his text in five chapters devoted to the historical background and early attitudes toward charismatic and visionary experiences among Millerites and Sabbatarian Adventists up to 1850, the acceptance of White’s prophetic gift, the gift of prophecy becoming a part of the Seventh-day Adventist statement of beliefs, and other related subjects.
