Imagined as a sequel to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible by
Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen, The Last Testament features
visual accounts and stories of seven men around the world who claim
to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Building on biblical form
and structure, chapters dedicated to each Jesus include excerpts of
their scriptural testaments, laying out their theology and demands
on mankind in their own words. Through Bendiksen's personal
testimonies and intimate portraits, The Last Testament investigates
the boundaries of religious faith, and a world in need of
salvation, yearning for a new prophet. Whether escaping an angry
mob in the streets with the Jesus of Kitwe, joining a Messianic
birthday pilgrimage in Siberia, or witnessing the End of Days with
Moses in South Africa, Bendiksen immerses himself among the
disciples of each Jesus. He takes at face value that each is the
one true Messiah returned to Earth, to forge an account that's both
a work of apocalyptic journalism and of a compelling artistic
imagination.
