Ellen Gould White nata Harmon è stata una religiosa e predicatrice statunitense.

Fu una dei leader e profetessa della Chiesa cristiana avventista del settimo giorno sviluppatasi in Battle Creek , , il 21 maggio 1863, come evoluzione dell'Avventismo millerita, e nel 1925 anche degli avventisti del settimo giorno del movimento di riforma. Ellen Gould Harmon, giovanissima, sposò James Springer White, noto anche come l'anziano White, che insieme a lei è stato cofondatore della Chiesa cristiana avventista del settimo giorno. In seguito, Ellen adottò il cognome del marito diventando così Ellen Gould White.

Ellen White è stata un'autrice cristiana molto prolifica: pubblicò più di 5.000 articoli in periodici religiosi e 46 libri. Attualmente, considerando anche le compilazioni pubblicate a partire dalle 50.000 pagine di suoi manoscritti, sono disponibili in inglese più di 100 titoli provenienti dalla sua sterminata produzione letteraria. Ellen White ha scritto principalmente di teologia, evangelizzazione, stile di vita cristiano, educazione e salute. Ha sempre sostenuto il vegetarianismo e ha promosso la nascita di scuole e ospedali che si ispirassero quanto più fedelmente possibile ai principi cristiani.

La collana denominata Il Gran Conflitto, dal titolo del libro più letto e rappresentativo del suo pensiero sul conflitto tra il Bene e il Male nell'universo, cerca di fare chiarezza sul pensiero della White riguardo all'intervento di Dio nella storia biblica e del suo popolo. I suoi sostenitori credono che abbia ricevuto il dono spirituale della profezia come rivelato nel capitolo 19 di Apocalisse di Giovanni, ultimo libro della Bibbia.

Ha scritto 46 libri per un totale di circa venticinque milioni di parole, e i suoi scritti ancora oggi sono tenuti in alta considerazione sia dalla Chiesa cristiana avventista del settimo giorno che dagli Avventisti del settimo giorno del movimento di Riforma. Gli Avventisti del settimo giorno tengono in grande considerazione Ellen Gould White, ritenendo che essa abbia ricevuto il dono della Profezia secondo l'Apocalisse 19:10. In quanto scrittrice cristiana del XIX secolo e inizi del Novecento, Ellen White è descritta da Randall Balmer, come una delle figure più importanti e colorate della storia della religione statunitense.

Ellen Gould White: Frasi in inglese

“Early in my public labors I was bidden by the Lord, "Write, write the things that are revealed to you." At the time this message came to me, I could not hold my hand steady. My physical condition made it impossible for me to write. But again came the word, "Write the things that are revealed to you." I obeyed; and as the result it was not long before I could write page after page with comparative ease. Who told me what to write? Who steadied my right hand, and made it possible for me to use a pen?”

Steps to Christ, p. 49

“Let none think that there is no more knowledge for them to gain. The depth of human intellect may be measured; the works of human authors may be mastered; but the highest, deepest, broadest flight of the imagination cannot find out God. There is infinity beyond all that we can comprehend. We have seen only the glimmering of divine glory and of the infinitude of knowledge and wisdom; we have, as it were, been working on the surface of the mine, when rich golden ore is beneath the surface, to reward the one who will dig for it.”

“The life of the Christian is not all smooth. He has stern conflicts to meet. Severe temptations assail him. ‘The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.’ The nearer we come to the close of this earth’s history, the more delusive and ensnaring will be the attacks of the enemy. His attacks will grow fiercer and more frequent. Those who resist light and truth will become more hardened and unimpressible, and more bitter against those who love God and keep His commandments (MS 33, 1911).”

“The Sovereign of the universe was not alone in His work of beneficence. He had an associate—a co-worker who could appreciate His purposes, and could share His joy in giving happiness to created beings. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1, 2. Christ, the Word, the only begotten of God, was one with the eternal Father—one in nature, in character, in purpose—the only being that could enter into all the counsels and purposes of God. “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. His “goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” Micah 5:2. And the Son of God declares concerning Himself: “The Lord possessed Me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from everlasting. … When He appointed the foundations of the earth: then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him.””

Testimonies for the Church (1855 - 1868)

“There are many whose religion consists in criticising habits of dress and manners. They want to bring every one to their own measure. They desire to lengthen out those who seem too short for their standard, and to cut down others who seem too long. They have lost the love of God out of their hearts; but they think they have a spirit of discernment. They think it is their prerogative to criticise, and pronounce judgment; but they should repent of their error, and turn away from their sins… Let us love one another. Let us have harmony and union throughout our ranks. Let us have our hearts sanctified to God. Let us look upon the light that abides for us in Jesus. Let us remember how forbearing and patient He was with the erring children of men. We should be in a wretched state if the God of heaven were like one of us, and treated us as we are inclined to treat one another.”
