Resumen:

For the Love of God : In this thoughtful work, Lucy Kaylin explores myths and debunks stereotypes to present a rich and varied portrait of modern nuns at a dramatic moment in their history: in the United States, nuns are facing possible extinction. In vivid, accessible prose, For the Love of God examines the historical and cultural forces - including the Second Vatican Council and the women's movement - that have redefined nuns while eroding their ranks. 239 pages.
