About “Missionary Position”

The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice is a 1995 book by journalist and polemicist Christopher Hitchens. It critiques the work and philosophy of Mother Teresa, the founder of a Roman Catholic religious congregation. Hitchens challenges the mainstream media's positive view of her charitable efforts. According to one critic, the book argues that Mother Teresa was more focused on expanding her fundamentalist religious beliefs than on genuinely helping the poor. The book presents a critical analysis of her actions and motivations. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
