John Angerson has been working on his portrait of the Jesus Army for twenty years. This evangelical sect was founded in Northamptonshire, England, in 1969. The Jesus Army has proven highly successful with its emotional, comprehensive brand of religious experience. The members - often previously addicts or criminals - give up all private property, live in communes and share their incomes. Thus the Jesus Army provides them with a new start. John Angerson has made an intimate portrait of the movement, which for him represents the revival of fundamentalist religions all over the world. His project takes its title from the motto of the Jesus Army: Love, Power, Sacrifice.

Freelancer John Angerson (b. 1969, Great Britain) has been photographing all around the world for nearly twenty years, for clients including Der Spiegel, El Pais and The Sunday Times. He has published four books, including Love, Power, Sacrifice.
