Ellen G. White was named among 100 Most Significant Americans in the Smithsonian magazine in an acknowledgement on Ellen White's influence on religion. She, along with other Sabbatarian Adventist leaders, such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, formed what is now known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church. According to one evangelical author, "No Christian leader or theologian has exerted as great an influence on a particular denomination as Ellen White has on Adventism." Additional authors have stated Ellen G. White has undoubtedly been the most influential Seventh-day Adventist in the history of the church.
