Abstract
This article has examined the writings of the Ellen G. White Estate and the early commissioned Adventist historical textbooks. Such writings were narratives that were largely triumphalist in nature and served an apologetic purpose. All of them fulfilled the primary criteria of trying to explain Adventism and its core beliefs through history and scholarship. Through a careful reading, interpretation, and evaluation of important materials, it is clear that the main goal of the White Estate and the early historical textbooks was to connect Adventist faith to its historical memory. Such an approach to history is valuable as long as it does not jeopardize the honest interpretation of facts.
