The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan by Ellen Gould Harmon White presents a sweeping interpretation of Christian history through the theme of an ongoing conflict between good and evil. The work traces this spiritual struggle from biblical times through major developments in Christian history and toward the author's understanding of the future fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

White examines subjects including the life and ministry of Christ, the early Christian church, the Protestant Reformation, religious persecution, and significant events in the development of Christianity. Throughout the work, historical events are interpreted through a distinctly Christian theological and prophetic framework.

A significant text in Seventh-day Adventist literature, the book is suited to readers interested in Christian theology, biblical prophecy, church history, Protestantism, Christian spirituality, and Seventh-day Adventist thought.
