In 1721 '''''The Christian Philosopher''''' was published. Written by Cotton Mather, it was the first systematic book on science published in America. Mather attempted to show how newtonian mechanics and [[religion]] were in harmony. It was in part based on [[Robert Boyle]]'s 1690 [[The Christian Virtuoso]]. <ref> [http://books.google.com/books?id=Qa5mmx8z60sC&pg=RA1-PR44&lpg=RA1-PR44&dq=%22Christian+Virtuoso%22+-wikipedia&source=web&ots=5vJcL5epGb&sig=T9VtOc-EJ7wuOXwucKhrClDISb8&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result The Christian Philosopher By Cotton Mather, Winton U.
