The Real Table of Contents
Comparing Patriachs and Prophets with
Edersheim "Biblical History: Old Testament"
As presented it does look rather incriminating. HOWEVER PLEASE SCROLL PAST, or click here to see
THE REAL TABLE OF CONTENTS
of Ellen White's "Patriach's and Prophets" and of Ederheim's "Biblical History: Old Testament"
You will be shocked and amazed at the misrepresentation put forth in the first chart.
Also we will look at E.G.White's first book on the Great Controversy which came out in July 1864; that is TWELVE YEARS BEFORE Edersheim published his first edition. There we will see that Ellen White had most of her titles ALL READY. So if anyone was plagerizing, we could say Ederheim plagerised from Ellen White!
The real dishonesty in the first chart is the implied assumption that Edersheim had the same chapter titles which E.White supposedly "plagiarized", but you will see that Edersheim DIDN'T EVEN HAVE short chapter titles. Each of his chapters is headed by a summary of the chapter's topics.

So you see, they have taken phrases from the "summeries" in Edersheim's book that best match their purpose in trying to accuse EGW of plagerism. Interestingly there are a few cases where EGW's 1864 titles (12 years BEFORE Edersheim's book was written) match more closely with Ederheim's "titles". Click here.
Once again we see that Ellen White is accused of plagiarism simply because she is following the Biblical stories. Ellen White's writings are based upon the Bible, thus anyone honestly writing on these Biblical Stories will have some similar phrases and follow the basic sequence of action found in the Bible.
Now let's look at a whole chapter from Patriachs and Prophets, and compare it to Edersheim's book. The Creation chapter
