While Seventh-day Adventists hold firmly to the Protestant view of
salvation—that it is by Grace alone through faith alone—individual
Adventists hold a
broad spectrum of views on the practical and theological details of
salvation doctrine. It is sometimes puzzling to observers of
Adventism to discover that no matter where individual Adventists stand on the theology of salvation, they
are sure to claim that Ellen White occupies the same ground. . . .
In this book, Woodrow W. Whidden II helps us reconstruct the development of Ellen White's beliefs on the complex issue of salvation as he gives us a historical perspective, showing how certain aspects of Ellen White's teachings on justification and perfection flourished at different times. . . . Whidden hopes that by examining the position of Ellen White—the most respected voice among Adventists—he can help resolve some hotly debated questions about salvation. "Our gospel witness cannot possibly be effective," he writes, "if we are not clear on what the gospel is but are perpetually wrangling about it among ourselves." —adapted from the book jacket introduction.
