This book is a reissue of the 1884 edition of that remarkable classic, Great Controversy

This book: This 1884 edition includes the complete original book of 37 chapters (an edition which had no author's introduction). Nothing the author wrote has been omitted or changed. In addition, you will find an introduction to each chapter, fifty-eight Bible and historical charts, four indexes, and, within brackets, approximate paging notations to the 1888 and 1911 editions of this book.

Explanation of bracketed numbers on page tops: These refer to comparable paging in the standard 1888 and 1911 editions. Because of compacted size, each page in this book is equivalent to parts of two or three pages in those later editions. A double hyphen within brackets ( [--] ), on a page top, indicates the material on that page is not in the 1888 or 1911 editions.

When you write, ask for a copy of our "Missionary Book Order Sheet," containing low-cost boxful prices of this and other books, such as Desire of Ages, Ministry of Healing, Christ's Object Lessons, Bible Readings, etc.

"Here is the patience of the saints: Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

--Revelation 14:12
