Ellen White used sources for the writing of Great Controversy in the same way as writers of the Old and New Testaments used sources. Just as the Holy Spirit guided the prophet or inspired writer to skip errors in the Bible, Church Historian prof. dr. Kenneth Strand of Andrews University wrote on this manuscript handed out on 25th of November 1981 as class-material, that Ellen White quoted not the errors of D’Augbine when she wrote Great Controversy.

Strand listed some errors by D’Augbine as source but he also indicated that the error is not found in Great Controversy.

It helps us to appreciate and understand how inspiration works.


Dear God

We live with skeptical minds in our denomination under the cover and thin veneer of religiosity and even standing in college classes. We appreciate to understand that she missed the errors of D’Augbine. Help us to cling to the Holy Spirit as our navigator too. Amen
