Edward Stillingfleet (April 17, 1635 – March 27, 1699) was an English Christian theologian and scholar. He was regarded as an outstanding preacher and a keen polemical writer who defended Anglicanism. Stillingfleet was known as 'the beauty of holiness' because of his handsome appearance at the pulpit, and was called by John Hough 'the most capable man of his time.'
