Giới thiệu về tác giả

Ellen Gould White (1827–1915) was a prolific author and an American Christian pioneer instrumental to the founding of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Known for her spiritual gifts, she reported over 2, 000 visionary experiences that she claimed were messages from God, through which she played a significant role in guiding the early Adventist movement. Her extensive literary work comprises more than 5, 000 articles and 40 books, among which ‘Patriarchs and Prophets’ stands as a notable contribution (White, 1890). This particular book forms part of her five-volume ‘Conflict of the Ages’ series; it chronicles the biblical history from the creation of the world through King David’s reign and is esteemed for its devotional commentary on the Old Testament. White’s literary style often merges theological insights with practical Christianity, encouraging piety and an adherence to biblical teachings. Her writings, although subject to some controversy, have had a lastingly profound impact on Seventh-day Adventist theology and are considered as an authoritative source of doctrinal reference for members within the faith (Graybill, 1994). White’s legacy continues to influence not just religious scholars, but also those interested in the 19th century Christian reform movements. Her intricate narratives are reflective of her commitment to Christian education, health reform, and the eschatological significance of the seventh-day Sabbath.
