In January 2007, the White Estate Board of Trustees voted to produce a book addressing Ellen White issues. The book will have a number of authors and contain more than twenty chapters with Merlin D. Burt being the editor. It will address a wide spectrum of issues in regard to Ellen White including revelation, inspiration, illumination, the gift of prophecy in Scripture, the relationship of her writings to the Bible, her role in Seventh-day Adventist doctrine, hermeneutics, her visions, her literary methods and use of sources, science, critics, and authority. The individual chapters are being reviewed by BRICOM (Biblical Research Institute Committee) to assist the editor and to provide additional critique. Twelve chapters were reviewed over the course of one day during the October 2007 BRICOM meeting at Andrews University. It is planned to have the remaining chapters reviewed during the April 2008 meeting in Loma Linda. This important book will assist in providing answers to questions regarding Ellen White’s writings and ministry.
