Divisions The Conflict of the Ages is a book series written by American religious author Ellen G. White (1827–1915).
Mrs. White wrote the books based on her research of other authors and special information which she claimed to receive through visions from God.
[1][2] Some Seventh-day Adventists have viewed Ellen G. White's writings, in particular the Conflict of the Ages series, as authoritative, verbally inspired by God, virtually on par with the Bible.
[1][5] The idea for the Conflict of the Ages series originated from an 1858 book written by Ellen White, titled Spiritual Gifts Vol.
[9] The Great Controversy was rewritten for a wider audience, and was expanded to its current five volumes; the name "Conflict of the Ages" was applied to the series for the first time.
