Albert Schweitzer: Sketches for a Portrait

by Jackson Lee Ice

Overview

This book explores the deeper meanings and implications of Schweitzer's ethical and theological thought in the context of his life and work as a jungle doctor, philosopher, and musician. It provides a careful study of Schweitzer's deceptively simple ethic of Reverence for Life, debating such questions as: Did Albert Schweitzer believe in God? What did he believe about Jesus? Was Albert Schweitzer a racist? Co-published with the Albert Schweitzer Institute for the Humanities.

Editorial Reviews

When Ice (Harvard U.) died in 1991, he had nearly finished his collection of essays exploring Schweitzer's ethical and theological thought and how it affected him as a jungle doctor, philosopher, and musician. The ten essays were written over 30 years, and some have been published separately. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
