Abstract

Abstract Contrary to the common view that reverence died in Lambaréné, modern theology, notably in its liberal Protestant and process forms, continues to be indebted to Schweitzer. In the telling confession of Paul Tillich, Schweitzer was with him “all my life since my student days.” In developing their own “ethic of life”, John Cobb and Charles Birch regard Schweitzer as “the one great Western twentieth‐century thinker who took seriously the value of all living things” and acknowledge his reverence for life as having a “spreading influence of others”. Chapter Six sets the stage for Schweitzer's contribution to the continuing debate on life‐ethics.
