Early modern Europe was the birthplace of the modern secular outlook. During the seventeenth century nature and human society came to be regarded in purely naturalistic, empirical ways, and religion was made an object of critical historical study. John Locke was a central figure in all these events. This study of his philosophical thought shows that these changes did not happen smoothly or without many conflicts of belief: Locke, in the role of Christian Virtuoso, endeavoured to resolve them. He was an experimental natural philosopher, a proponent of the so-called 'new philosophy', a variety of atomism that emerged in early modern Europe. But he was also a practising Christian, and he professed confidence that the two vocations were not only compatible, but mutually sustaining. He aspired, without compromising his empirical stance, to unite the two vocations in a single philosophical endeavour with the aim of producing a system of Christian philosophy.

"The Christian Virtuoso" is not merely a treatise on scientific exploration; it is a profound testament to the harmonious coexistence of faith and the pursuit of knowledge. In this groundbreaking book, Boyle posits a bold proposition: that engaging in experimental philosophy, the precursor to modern scientific inquiry, not only does not hinder but actively aids an individual in becoming a better Christian. The original text from which this new edition is drawn contains several archaic spellings, some grammatical inconsistencies, and outdated language conventions. The Revised Version attempts to capture the meaning and intent of the original text while adhering to modern English conventions.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
