Albert Schweitzer, a French polymath, was renowned for his work as a theologian, organist, musicologist, writer, humanitarian, philosopher, and physician. As a Lutheran minister, he challenged conventional and secular perspectives on the historical Jesus and Pauline Christianity by stressing the significance of “being in Christ” and justification by faith. Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952 for his philosophy of “Reverence for Life” and established the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in Lambaréné, Gabon. Additionally, he made notable contributions to the examination of Johann Sebastian Bach’s music and the Organ Reform Movement.
