1.  Cf. his The So-Called Historical Jesus and the Historic Biblical Christ, trans. C. E. Braaten (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1964), from the 1896 German edition.

2.  Along the same lines, Schweitzer’s dissertation for his medical degree, entitled Was Jesus Insane?, discussed Jesus’ sanity, arguing that sanity must always be judged by the canons of the day. That is, in his own day, at a time when everyone was steeped in apocalyptic thought, Jesus must be seen as having been eminently sane and as having used the thought of his day for good ends. But today, when no one believes in apocalypticism, such teaching can only be classed as bizarre and any such teacher must be considered insane.
