More about the book
The narrative explores the evolution of the Knutby Filadelfia commune in Sweden, tracing its roots from the Swedish Pentecostal movement in 1921 to its transformation into a distinct religion in the 1990s, led by a female pastor claiming to be the Bride of Christ. The story takes a dark turn with a shocking murder in 2004, where one member killed another, believing it was divinely sanctioned. The book also examines the internal crises that ultimately led to the congregation's dissolution in 2018, providing a profound insight into its complex history and impact on its youth.
