Walter T. Rea

Rea was born in 1922. He died in August 2014. Rea was a Seventh-day Adventist pastor in Alhambra, California in the late 1960s to early 1970s and was in Long Beach, California, when he wrote The White Lie. His church employment ended in 1980 after a newspaper article published an account of his findings. Ellen G. White While there had been earlier allegations of plagiarism against Ellen G. White, Rea's book, The White Lie, claimed that up to 80 or 90% of White's writings were plagiarized. Rea was the first to document the extent of this borrowing, citing 75 books White depended on. The Adventist denomination has responded to these charges in various venues. == See also ==
