Walter T. Rea (June 12, 1922 – August 30, 2014) was a former Seventh-day Adventist pastor who authored the book, The White Lie (1982), an account of his research into literary borrowing and uncredited sources in the writings of church co-founder Ellen G. White. His findings created turmoil in the Adventist Church regarding the inspiration and authority of White, whom the church claims possessed the spiritual gift of prophecy.
