Description

ALBERT SCHWEITZER is remembered as a great humanist who helped heal the sick and poor over decades in Africa. The 1952 Nobel Peace Prize winner was also a theologian, organist, musicologist, writer, philosopher, and physician, whose only trip to America was to speak at the Goethe Bicentennial in Aspen in 1949.

Investing Our Humanity introduces readers to 112 contemporary voices-personal acquaintances of Schweitzer, students of his works, and followers along the same path of service to humanity that Dr. Schweitzer began from his childhood nearly 150 years ago.

These testimonies were gathered around the world by Francis Guthleben, writer and filmmaker, author of several books and films about Schweitzer, and Jenny Litzelmann, Director of the Albert Schweitzer House in Gunsbach, France.
