Albert Schweitzer's "Out of My Life and Thought"


Listen Later

This episode delves into the extraordinary autobiography of Albert Schweitzer, a true polymath. We journey from his early scholarly triumphs in theology—re-examining the historical Jesus and Paul—and his mastery of Bach's music and organ building, to the pivotal moment he chose medicine and a life of service in equatorial Africa. Explore his profound ethical conviction of "reverence for life," the driving force behind his legendary Lambaréné hospital, and witness his resilience through wartime challenges and internment, all while shaping a new philosophy for civilization. Join us to discover the multifaceted life of a theologian, musician, doctor, and philosopher who dared to live his deepest beliefs.References Schweitzer, A. (1933).
