William Kiffen and his World (Part 1) (Centre for Baptist History and Heritage Studies - Re-Sourcing Baptist History: Seventeenth Century Series) Tapa blanda – 6 Junio 2010 de Larry J. Kreitzer

The London merchant William Kiffen (c.1616–1701) is commonly regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Particular Baptists in London. For over sixty years Kiffen played a significant role in the complex world of the seventeenth century, with its volatile mix of religion, politics and commerce. He established himself in the early 1640s as the leader of a Baptist congregation, became an important contact for the Cromwellian Commonwealth and Protectorate, and was intimately involved in the political manoeuvrings of the royal courts of Charles I, Charles II, James II and William III. This volume seeks to explore several aspects of Kiffen’s life which have not hitherto been given the attention they deserve, and offers ten specific studies which concentrate on key primary sources. This is the 2018 corrected edition of the book which was first published in 2010.
