Abstract
Since the Church does not accept degrees of inspiration, it must acknowledge that the inspiration of Ellen G. White, though not her authority, is of the same type as the inspiration of the Old and New Testament prophets. Therefore, when using and interpreting what she has written, we must apply the same hermeneutical principles to her writings as we do to Scripture. Both are inspired literature; therefore, both must be interpreted by the same principles. This article deals not only with the question of how Ellen G. White used Scripture, but it also provides guidelines for the interpretation of her writings.
Keywords
