THE GREAT CONTROVERSY

BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN.

DURING THE CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION.

By MRS. E. G. WHITE. AUTHOR OF "THE LIFE OF CHRIST," "SKETCHES FROM THE LIFE OF PAUL," "BIBLE SANCTIFICATION," AND OTHER POPULAR WORKS.

THIS volume presents the most wonderful and intensely interesting history that has ever been written of the great conflict between Christianity and the Powers of Darkness, as illustrated in the lives of Christian martyrs and reformers on the one hand, and wicked men and persecuting powers on the other. Beginning with our Lord's great prophecy given while viewing Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, in which he outlines the history of the whole dispensation, it sketches the fulfillment. It pictures the siege and overthrow of Jerusalem, and the destruction of the Temple. It calls our attention to the bitter persecutions of the Christians in the first centuries, and notes the rise and growth of the Papacy. It gives a clear description of the character and influence of the Waldenses, who, through centuries of persecution, maintained their integrity, and continued their missionary efforts previous to the great Reformation.

Brief and life-like sketches of the lives of the Reformers, and the perils through which they passed, are given, including Wycliffe, Huss, Jerome, Knox, and others.
