Mother Teresa's Revolutionary Theology

Written in the Jubilee Year 2025, which marks 115 years since Mother Teresa's birth, 75 years since the founding of the Missionaries of Charity, and a decade since the recognition of her second miracle, this book identifies five "revolutions" that define her legacy: prayer, poverty, service, suffering, and conscience.Drawing on the first Constitutions of the Missionaries of Charity and newly opened archives from Albania's Sigurimi files, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Directorate of Archives to Propaganda Fide in Rome, and diocesan collections from Reggio Calabria to Washington, D.C., Dr. Ines Angeli Murzaku uncovers a long-hidden story of sanctity, resistance, and renewal. The book shows how Catholic tradition becomes an engine of transformation when lived with radical fidelity. The final revolution, conscience, moves the story from private holiness to public change, radiating from Skopje and Calcutta to Tirana and Rome. Combining archival discovery, theological insight, and historical drama, this work offers a fresh and theologically rich reading of Mother Teresa's life.Mother Teresa's Revolutionary Theology is written for scholars and general readers interested in Christian theology, ecumenical and interfaith dialogue, modern sanctity, and Eastern European religious history. It serves those exploring how theological principles translate into lived practice across cultural and religious boundaries.
