Ellen White: Relationship between the OT and the NT
I have a paper coming up with a list of suggested topics. One of the suggested topics is to choose a theologian and explain their view of the relationship of the OT and the NT. I think I might want to try and write about Ellen White.
I have some pamphlets and things from some legacy library purchases, but I do not have the Ellen White Encyclopedia, and I am struggling to get a get a copy of it. Interlibrary loans are a MESS right now, but I am going to try, because the samples look awesome! Her writings themselves are in the public domain. Hoopla has some of them. It is just the books ABOUT her, not the books BY her that are harder to come by.
I started trying to use Scott Hahn, but when I got to his works that treat this topic directly, they are above my ability to understand at this point. And now, I am beyond tapped out from those purchases that I made for that idea. I don't want to return them to buy the encyclopedia, because I know I will want them later, and I got the Verbum Academic Training videos in the package.
I have a Dake study Bible, and I am tossing around the idea of using him. But Ellen White has caught my attention. I am not ready to give up on her, yet.
Yes, I know how far apart the views of these theologians are. LOL. I know enough about this topic to know how much that I don't know about it. And the more I learn, the less I can confidently act like I think I know THE "right" view on it. So ... I am choosing to write about someone else's view rather than pretend I have one myself.
The pamphlets and the sample to the encyclopedia show me that this woman is fascinating and sometimes incredibly wise and practical. When the pamphlets pop up in a search and I compare her views with the others, I am impressed and inspired.
Can anyone give me a lead on where to start searching for her most direct teachings on the relationship of the OT to the NT?

One search suggestion is:
(covenant,inseparable,relationship,quote) WITHIN 14 WORDS (OT, old) WITHIN 14 WORDS (NT,new)

Kathleen you could contact a local Adventist church. They may be able to lend you the Ellen White Encyclopedia or other resources to help you in your project. Let them know about what you are doing and I am sure they can help you. The Ellen White Estate can also provide helpful information. If I was in your situation those are the resources that I would turn to.

Thanks!
The closest SDA church is much too far away to walk to, and I still have such a mess with residency and ID and all that stuff, but ... I might be able to make contact and get THERE even though I cannot get to so many other places. I had already googled the closest SDA churches. They actually have a stronger base here than some other denominations, and I would never have guessed that. Thanks!
