It is the eighteenth of the twenty eight spiritual beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. While it is true that Ellen G. White and her writings were read widely by the Seventh – day Adventist adult members, there is this assumption that the young people do not know her and have not read her books.

Elias Brasil de Souza

Should first distance itself from the historical-critical use of hypothetical sources in the OT. Then, from a grammatical-historical perspective, should identify literary borrowings in both the OT (like the references in the books of Chronicles to the Annals of the Kings of Israel and Judah) and the NT (as in the writings of Paul).

The Use of Scripture by Bible Writers

Clinton Wahlen

Sometimes people expect from EGW an exegetical rigor not used by canonical prophets while quoting other canonical writings. Should highlight (1) how later prophets attributed a literal meaning to the writings of earlier prophets (like the Psalms and the Prophets referred to events described in Genesis 1-11); and (2) how they interpreted them (not only the NT use of the OT, but also within the same Testament).
