''The Christian Virtuoso'' (1690) was one of the last books published by Robert Boyle, who was a champion of his Anglican faith. This book summarised his religious views, including his idea of a clockwork universe created by God. Boyle was a devout Anglican, and with the rise of science and reason during his lifetime, was troubled by increasing atheism. This spurred him to write about his belief of science and religion supporting each other. Contents On this book's title page (see picture) Boyle states "that, being addicted to experimental philosophy a man is rather assisted than indisposed to be a good Christian." And this principle is what he sets out to show. ''The Christian Virtuoso'' summarized Boyle's views that the study of God's handiwork was a religious duty and that by studying God's handiwork, God's goodness and overarching existence would be illuminated.
