The interactive Great Controversy was developed as a tool to help connect to historical references regarding the history of the Christian church that have not been readily available to the average person. Some of this information is available in the public domain and is distributed electronically via the internet, while other material has been collected from actual print editions dating as early as the late 1600's. This collection is not intended to be exhaustive, but is intended to historically document the references to people, places and events mentioned in the book The Great Controversy by Ellen White.
