Ellen White & the Pioneers

Everything the institute has written about Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers — their platform on the Godhead, the gift of prophecy, the gospel they recovered, and the questions raised about them — gathered into one house.

The pioneer platform

The doctrine of God the founders confessed — one God the Father, His only begotten Son, and the Spirit — and why they refused the trinity by name.
