Water lies at the center of our Christian sign of baptism and our current ecological crises and, thus, deserves deeper theological treatment.
This paper explores visions of “redemption as rehydration” in the prophetic literature, then it traces resonant themes into the Apocalypse’s “river of the water of life” (Rev 22:1).
