SOME PRESS OPINIONS
"... this is a fine book. The reader will not agree with all its conclusions, but Jesus Christ will flash before him."—Guardian.
"The whole book demands careful and exact reading, but it will amply repay the labour involved. The reader may feel that one element in the life of Jesus is stressed to the exclusion of other constitutive elements, but he will rise enriched from this study of the heroic in the Divine Teacher."—Aberdeen Free Press.
"He has shown himself to be possessed by the Christ spirit, and a fine example to us all."—Scottish Congregationalist.
"Schweitzer—brilliant critical scholar, ardent medical missionary of French Equatorial Africa ... is a deeply visionary thinker and an inheritor of the best traditions of Teutonic spirituality and reverence."—Church Times.

PAUL AND HISINTERPRETERS
A CRITICAL HISTORY

Demy 8vo. PRICE 10/6 NET. Bound in Cloth.
NOTE
This work forms the sequel to the author's "The Quest of the Historical Jesus." It is the duty, he thinks, of any one who offers a new reading of the life of Jesus not to leave it standing isolated, but to show how it connects with the history of doctrine. Here Paul is the crux. How is he related, on the one hand, to the primitive Christian community, and, on the other, to the early Greek theology? Dr. Schweitzer's work is in form a history—and a very useful history—of German Pauline scholarship, but he uses the history in order to show how the problems have developed organically, as it were, in the natural course of the study of the subject, and in his account of the various writers, criticism keeps pace with exposition.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
"A continuation of the author's "The Quest of the Historical Jesus," Dr. Schweitzer holding that 'any one who deals with the teaching and the life and work of Jesus, and offers any kind of new reading of it, ought not to stop there, but must be held under obligation to trace, from the standpoint at which he has arrived, the pathway leading to the history of dogma.'"—Athenæum.
"This book of Schweitzer's, again so admirably translated, is one of the indispensable tools. It will save endless toil, it may even help us to save our souls."—Expository Times.
"An important book for New Testament specialists.—Methodist Times.

This book, originally written and published in French in 1905, was at once recognised as the work of a musician of deep insight and power of interpretation, and in less than three years it was translated into German and published in a greatly expanded and revised version. In 1908 Mr. Ernest Newman approached the author with a view to translating it into English, and permission was cordially given; more than this, the author took a great interest in the translation and himself largely altered and added to the text in order to make it more complete.
