Albert Schweitzer: The Man & his Mind

The definitive biography of one of the titans of our time, together with a full appreciation of his revolutionary thought and writings, is now revised to include new materials on the eighth decade of Dr. Schweitzer’s life and work at Lambaréné.

The book tells two exciting the outward events of Schweitzer’s life—his childhood in Alsace, his career in Strasbourg, his organ studies and recitals, his decision to become a medical missionary in Africa, and his long labours there; and a review of his great intellectual and spiritual contributions—his upsetting of Biblical criticism, his profound insights into Christ, St. Paul, Bach and Goethe, his philosophy of civilisation and reverence for life.
