    Eduncle Best Answer

    Religio Medici, the most celebrated work of one of the great seventeenth century stylists of English prose, Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682). Although never originally intended for print, this meditative essay proved to be immensely popular and established Browne's fame as a writer. Variously described as a prose-poem, confession of faith and 'sort of private diary of the soul', the Religio Medici ('The Religion of a Physician') is hard to categorize. Although an exploration of religious thought, it cannot be described as theological, and although written by a physician, neither is it medical or scientific; indeed, as Browne explores the central themes of faith and charity, he acknowledges the need to keep religion separate from science for 'many things are true in Divinity, which are neither inducible by reason nor confirmable by sense'.
