The Water of Life (Paperback)

Paperback. In a defining moment of Adventist history, E. J. Waggoner, A. T. Jones, and their contemporaries proclaimed a message of life-rooted not in legal fiction, but in the living character of God. Among the clearest and most neglected voices of that era was George Fifield. The Water of Life is a remarkable recovery of Fifield's Christ-centered vision of salvation-one that presents sin as a deadly rupture from the Source of life, and redemption as God's healing work through the self-giving love of Christ. Rather than portraying the cross as an act of divine retribution, Fifield reveals it as the supreme disclosure of God's restorative purpose for humanity. Written in the years following the 1888 righteousness by faith revival, The Water of Life reflects the mature faith of one who stood at the very heart of that movement. Fifield was among the foremost voices to receive and proclaim its message, and this little volume preserves truths that flow directly from that formative era of Adventist history. Through simple yet profound object lessons, he presents righteousness by faith in Christ not as some abstract doctrine, but as a living, transforming reality.This newly restored edition invites readers to rediscover a forgotten stream within Adventist theology-one preserved through providence and brought again to light. It proclaims Christ not as a sacrifice to appease the wrath of an angry God, but as the Water of Life freely given to a dying world. This is an exact transcription of a work by George Fifield, an Adventist minister who believed God to be nonviolent. Included is a Foreword and Editor's Note by Patrick Irving, as well as an Introduction by Adrian Ebens. This item is printed on demand.
