This book investigates the life and leadership of Lewi Pethrus, a
monumental figure in Swedish and international Pentecostalism. Joel
Halldorf describes Pethrus’ role in the emergence of Pentecostalism
in Sweden, the ideals and practices of Swedish Pentecostalism, and the
movement’s turn to professional party politics. When Pentecostals
in the USA ventured into politics, they became allied with the
Republican party, and later Donald Trump. The Swedish Pentecostals
took another route: while culturally conservative, they embraced the
progressive economic politics of the Social Democratic party. During
the 2010s, they have also rejected the nationalism of the growing
populist movement. Halldorf analyzes and explains these differences
between Swedish evangelicals and Pentecostals on the one hand, and the
Religious Right in the USA on the other.
