 Subsequently, in 1857, James White (husband of Ellen G. White) wrote in the "Review and Herald" (now the "Adventist Review") that an "investigative judgment" was taking place in heaven, in which the lives of professed believers would pass in review before God.This is the first time that the phrase "investigative judgment" was used.The doctrine of the Investigative Judgment was given its most thorough exposition in chapter 28—Facing Life's Record of "The Great Controversy" by Ellen G. White.
