Preacher and pastor, controversialist, wealthy merchant, Member of Parliament, confidant of kings yet several times in prison, William Kiffin (1616-1701) was one of the most remarkable men of a remarkable age. Well researched, but simply and interestingly written, this new biography Stranger than Fiction appears at the time of the 300th anniversary of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith, to which Kiffin was one of the leading contributors.
