Ellen White said the history in Patriarchs and Prophets was opened to her in vision, and the White Estate says the book grew through "many repeated visions." This new online book puts that claim to the test. By comparing her 1864 account with the 1890 book, it traces the new details to the books on her own shelves—Cumming, Conant, Edersheim, Matthew Henry, the Columbian Family Bible, even the apocryphal Book of Jasher. It also shows what statements she quietly removed when her earlier "revelations" became impossible to defend, and how the whole enterprise was marketed as "the voice of God" when they knew it wasn't.
