About the Author

Walter T. Rea

(June 12, 1922 – August 30, 2014)

Was a Seventh-day Adventist pastor for 30 years in Southern California. His meticulous research into Ellen White's writings revealed irrefutable evidence of massive plagiarism. His groundbreaking book The White Lie (1982) triggered a major crisis within the Adventist Church and remains one of the most devastating analyses of White's writings.
