The conflict between righteousness and the forces of evil is the subject of this special compilation. In the mid-nineteenth century Ellen White experienced a series of visions concerning "the great controversy of the ages between Christ and Satan." These visions inspired a small work entitled Spiritual Gifts, which was later expanded into a four-volume work, The Spirit of Prophecy. Later this material was further amplified and published in the five-volume Conflict of the Ages series. This volume contains the heart of The Spirit of Prophecy, with additional material. In chronological order it covers God’s dealings with humanity from the primordial fall of Lucifer to the new earth, with behind-the-scenes glimpses often supplying details not found in Scripture.
