But what, asks Christopher Hitchens, makes Mother Teresa so divine? In a frank expose of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to the world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish is to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answer any higher purpose than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa's fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and convicted frauds. 600 00 $a Teresa, $c Mother, $d 1910-1997. 650 0 $a Nuns $z Calcutta $z Calcutta $v Biography. 610 20 $a Missionaries of Charity $v Biography. 653 0 $a Missions $a Missions 653 0 $a India 650 17 $a Missie. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Nonnen. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Beeldvorming. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Werkelijkheid. $2 gtt 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/review/hrev-a0a7n1-aa 941 $a 11 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724044335.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909023222.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722024255.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406020817.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528035125.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180103032030.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20100526115536.0 952 $l UTAX115 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E73F95D82AF111DE9756E306A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
