Über diesen Titel

 "A religious fundamentalist, a political operative, a primitive sermonizer, and an accomplice of worldly secular powers. Her mission has always been of this kind. The irony is that she has never been able to induce anybody to believe her. It is past time that she was duly honored and taken at her word."

Among his many books, perhaps none have sparked more outrage than The Missionary Position, Christopher Hitchens's meticulous study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa.

A Nobel Peace Prize recipient beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by heads of state and adored by millions for her work on behalf of the poor. In his measured critique, Hitchens asks only that Mother Teresa's reputation be judged by her actions-not the other way around.

With characteristic élan and rhetorical dexterity, Hitchens eviscerates the fawning cult of Teresa, recasting the Albanian missionary as a spurious, despotic, and megalomaniacal operative of the wealthy who long opposed measures to end poverty, and fraternized, for financial gain, with tyrants and white-collar criminals throughout the world.

Hätte an manchen Stellen gerne mehr Details gehabt. Aber insgesamt kann ich das Buch Trotzdem empfehlen

Etwas kurz aber ganz schön interessant

This is one of this books that can teach you how wrong the perception you got from public consensus can be. Even we atheist and sceptics are sometimes fooled by it. Especially in a subject we never bothered to research ourself. This is one of the reasons this book is great and one of the reasons Christopher Hitchens is such great loss for us. Listen to it for yourself and prepare for the challenge of your perception.
