Synopsis

Like that of the apostle Paul, who preached under the fire of persecution, John Flavel's ministry, declared illegal under the Act of Uniformity 1662, continued faithfully for the good of his people. For twenty five years it went on "amid persecutions, obstacles, and interruptions .... as opportunity could be gained in private dwellings, in obscure neighborhoods, or in the seclusion of the forest." Finally, under royal decree, worship without molestation was restored and John Flavel ministered in a new, large church erected by his affectionate people. In the Fountain of Life the full glory of Christ is presented , encompassing the original glory of the Lord; His mediatory offices of prophet, priest, and king; and the final glory of his victorious resurrection and ascension. This volume therefore comprises both a comprehensive and clear statement of Christology and a heartwarming devotional classic since, in the author's words, "The Fountain of Life was written in a time of great distractions (persecutions)."
