A posthumous collection of the sermons Schweitzer preached at St Nicholas Church in Strasbourg, where he was curate in the years before he went to Africa. Reginald H. Fuller's English translation was published by Harper & Row in 1969 as Reverence for Life. The sermons show a more personal and devotional side of his faith than his scholarly books.
