Christianity is based on the premise that God exists and reveals Himself to fallen humanity through human prophets, His spokespeople. This book provides the Seventh-day Adventist perspective on this subject. After examining biblical teachings on prophetic phenomena, this book offers a historical overview of how these phenomena have been understood within the Christian tradition, culminating in the prophetic ministry of Ellen G. White (1827–1915). A groundbreaking study that should remain a standard reference on the subject for many years to come.
