¿Quién fue Ellen G. White y por qué millones consideran que sus escritos poseen un valor y significado especiales?
En síntesis, ella fue una mujer de dones espirituales notables que vivió la mayor parte de su vida durante el siglo XIX (1827-1915); sin embargo, a través de sus escritos y ministerio público hizo un impacto revolucionario en millones de personas alrededor del mundo.
Durante el curso de su vida ella escribió más de 5.000 artículos para revistas y 26 libros; pero actualmente, al incluir compilaciones de sus 55.000 páginas de manuscritos, están disponibles en inglés más de 126 títulos y unos 80 en español. Ella bien puede ser la escritora más traducida en toda la historia de la literatura y el autor norteamericano de cualquier género que más ha sido traducido. Sus escritos abarcan una amplia gama de temas, incluyendo educación, salud, profecía, nutrición, asuntos culturales y étnico-lingüísticos, creacionismo y el origen de la vida. Su obra maestra que ha cambiado tantas vidas, sobre la vida cristiana exitosa, El camino a Cristo, ha sido publicada en más de 144 idiomas.
Los Adventistas del Séptimo Día creen que la Sra. White fue más que una escritora dotada; creen que fue designada por Dios como una mensajera especial para atraer la atención del mundo a las Santas Escrituras y para ayudar a preparar a un pueblo para el segundo advenimiento de Cristo. Desde el tiempo cuando tenía 17 años de edad hasta que murió 70 años más tarde, Dios le dio aproximadamente 2.000 visiones y sueños. Las visiones variaban en duración desde menos de un minuto hasta casi cuatro horas. Mediante sus escritos, ella compartió con otros el conocimiento y el consejo recibidos a través de estas revelaciones. Por lo tanto, los Adventistas del Séptimo Día aceptan sus escritos especiales como inspirados, y su calidad excepcional es reconocida aun por lectores ocasionales.
Como se declara en Creencias de los Adventistas del Séptimo Día, “Los escritos de Elena de White no constituyen un sustituto de la Escritura. No pueden ser colocados en el mismo nivel. Las sagradas Escrituras están colocadas en un nivel que les pertenece solo a ellas, la única regla por la cual sus escritos —y todos los demás— deben ser juzgados, y a la cual deben hallarse sujetos” (Creencias de los Adventistas del Séptimo Día, Asociación Ministerial, Asociación General de Adventistas del Séptimo Día, Washington DC, 2006, p. 258). Sin embargo, como la misma Ellen White lo notó, “La circunstancia de haber revelado Dios su voluntad a los hombres por su Palabra, no anuló la necesidad que tienen ellos de la continua presencia y dirección del Espíritu Santo. Por el contrario, el Salvador prometió que el Espíritu facilitaría a sus siervos la inteligencia de la Palabra; que iluminaría y daría aplicación a sus enseñanzas” (El Conflicto de los Siglos, p. 11).
