Reverence For Life by Albert Schweitzer.
 
"To me preaching was a necessity of my being.
I felt it as something wonderful that I was allowed to address a congregation every Sunday about the deepest questions of life." In these words Albert Schweitzer, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize winner, recalled his early, formative ministry at the Church of St Nicolai in Strasbourg, where he delivered these sermons.
Dr Schweitzer occasionally remarked that he preached not as a theologian but as a layman.
With extraordinary penetration, he grapples with the ageless questions of the human heart—the surprise Witheis basic conceath, she use she souls of his listeners, a proximity and relationship with Jesus Christ glows through his words like a hidden fire.
The missionary doctor preached many of his ideas before they were cast into essay form. This is particularly true of the concept of reverence for life, which he first developed before a large con-gregation. In that sermon, here included under the same title, he illuminates the connection between this ethic and the New Testament commandment of love.
