The cover and title page of J. J. Blanco’s The Clear Word clearly identify his work as “an expanded paraphrase of the Bible.” It is published in the author’s name, not the name of the church. The first sentence of the preface reads, “This is not a new translation but an interpretive paraphrase of the Scriptures.” Seventh-day Adventists have never produced their own version of the Bible. In her lifetime, Ellen White made use of the various translations available. SDASBC 7.4
The Ellen G. White Study Bible brings together relevant statements of commentary from Ellen White while preserving a format that maintains the rightful distinction between her words and the Scriptural text (as do the wide variety of study Bibles prepared by other commentators available in Christian book stores).
