THE THREE WORLDS OF ALBERT SCHWEITZER

by Robert Payne ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 3, 1957

Emerging primarily as a study of Schweitzer as theologian, this new biography considers him as a voice in a wilderness of relative ethics, crying out for a set of absolute values. As a doctor in Africa, he practiced that rigorous ethical code which had evolved earlier. Against a background of incredible nightmare- native resistance, superstition, lack of funds --Schweitzer embodied his ""reverence for life"" in the creation of his hospital. An appraisal of Schweitzer, the complete man, master-musician, doctor and theologian.
