Pastor Paul has brought together a dedicated congregation and built up a megachurch. One day he is struck by a revelation and he gives a sermon that shakes the very foundations the congregation’s faith is built upon. The members of the church face a difficult choice between following pastor Paul or leaving. Lucas Hnath’s play „The Christians” is a story rich with unexpected moral twists, where grand theological themes are intertwined with questions of trust, faith, understanding and intimacy.
