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 stories: 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 labors 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 civilization and reverence for life.

“Seaver’s book is without equal in opening to us simply and clearly a view of the life and mind of Schweitzer of Lambaréné, Africa, Europe and the World.”—Christian Century

“Mark this down as a great biography of a man whom many regard as our greatest living contemporary.”—Living Church

“Step by step Seaver leads the reader to look at life with Schweitzer, in order to understand his attitude toward Greek eudaemonism, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and finally the building up of his affirmation [Reverence for Life]...Those of us who seek to understand the meaning of Schweitzer’s life and thought and ‘realized fellowship with the living Christ’s must master this tiny book, so filled with spiritual reality.”—EDWARD H. HUME

“Dr. Seaver’s excellent work should appeal not only to Schweitzer’s many admires, but to those anxious to find a way out of the baffling labyrinth of current world conditions.”—Christian Century

“This swift yet fundamental survey of one whole trend in the intellectual life of man is a remarkable piece of work. It proves that Schweitzer is one of the great thinkers of our time.”—JOHN HAYNES HOLMES
