1949 Albert Schweitzer Man & His Mind by George Seaver Antique History BookAlbert Schweitzer - The Man & His MindBy George SeaverPublished by Adam & Charles Black: London 1949 3rd Edition"Ludwig Philipp Albert Schweitzer OM (14 January 1875 - 4 September 1965) was an Alsatian polymath. He was a theologian, organist, musicologist, writer, humanitarian, philosopher, and physician. A Lutheran minister, Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of Jesus as depicted by the historical-critical method current at this time, as well as the traditional Christian view. His contributions to the interpretation of Pauline Christianity concern the role of Paul's mysticism of "being in Christ" as primary and the doctrine of justification by faith as secondary."Light wear to dustjacket as shown.

Albert Schweitzer - The Man & His Mind
By George Seaver
Published by Adam & Charles Black: London 1949 3rd Edition

" Albert Schweitzer: The Man and His Mind, by George Seaver, was published by Adam & Charles Black in London in 1949 as the third edition. This insightful biographical study examines the life, philosophy, and moral convictions of Dr. Albert Schweitzer—physician, theologian, musician, and humanitarian—whose work at Lambaréné in French Equatorial Africa made him one of the most admired figures of the twentieth century. Seaver traces Schweitzer's intellectual and spiritual development from his early theological writings and Bach scholarship to his decision to devote his life to medical service, guided by his central ethical principle of "Reverence for Life."

Written with clarity and admiration, Seaver's account reveals a portrait of a man whose intellect was matched only by his compassion and self-discipline. He explores Schweitzer's philosophical ideas, his struggles with the demands of faith and reason, and his impact on moral thought in a world emerging from war and seeking new ethical direction.

This 1949 third edition reflects the continued influence of Schweitzer's example and Seaver's reputation as one of his foremost interpreters. It would appeal to readers interested in biography, theology, humanitarian history, and the enduring moral legacy of one of the modern era's most remarkable thinkers."
