Although never intended for publication, the sermons were transcribed by some of Schweitzer's listeners. Translated into English and in one volume for the first time, Steven E. G. Melamed, Sr., makes a great contribution to the field with works that characterize Schweitzer's simplicity of language, his emphasis on personal conduct, and his adaptation of biblical stories to the everyday realities of African life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCovering the period 1913-1935, his sermons evolved as Schweitzer matured and became more attuned to his surroundings. As it contains what is most likely the entire extant corpus of Schweitzer's sermons in Africa, this book fills a gap in Schweitzer scholarship. It affords a unique insight into his own beliefs and the prevailing European attitude toward Africans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Schweitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815629206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815629207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.40w x 0.81d","brand":"Albert Schweitzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980610273535,"sku":"9780815629207","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01033da5-0045-4d39-b5a6-ad7a4c3cda4d.jpg?v=1683250890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-african-sermon-albert-schweitzer-9780815629207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
