Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schweitzer saw Jesus as someone who believed in the imminent end of the world and the coming of a new era, but who was mistaken in his belief that this would happen within his own lifetime. Schweitzer argued that this belief led Jesus to adopt a radical and uncompromising stance towards the existing social and religious structures of his time, which ultimately led to his crucifixion.
