This complete edition of Sir Thomas Browne's classic work of introspection, Religio Medici, is available. Religio Medici, or Religion of a Doctor in English, was written by Browne in the 1640s as a way to profile his psychology in a spiritual testimonial to the divine. It was well appreciated in England and continental Europe. The text is organised around three main qualities: charity, hope, and faith. The first section of the text is devoted to these virtues. Throughout, Browne writes with honesty, clarity, and conviction, maintaining a recognisable style and tone. Scholars in the 17th century praised Religio Medici for its profundity and illuminating insight, and Browne rose to fame.
