Religio Medici

Religio Medici (The Religion of a Doctor) by Sir Thomas Browne is a spiritual testament and early psychological self-portrait. Browne mulls over the relation between his medical profession and his Christian faith. Published in 1643 after an unauthorised version was distributed the previous year, it became a European best-seller which brought its author fame at home and abroad. It likely contains the first known English language reference to Zoroastrianism. It was translated into Latin, French, German, Dutch and Italian and was reprinted about eight times during the author's life-time. It speaks on the themes of the religion of a doctor arguing that doctors are not atheists and that religion is not incompatible with science.
