Arising from the "Jesus Revolution" of the 1960s, contemporary Christian music has evolved into a thriving, multifaceted music scene. Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music: Pop, Rock, and Worship is the first comprehensive reference work to explore this genre -- one that boasts more record sales than jazz or classical and more employees than the country music industry. Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music: Features over 200 entries spanning the development of contemporary Christian music and its historic and cultural roots; Spotlights key figures and major stars in the Christian music world, many of whom may not be well known outside that world; Reveals the influence of gospel on major figures in modern American music, including Elvis Presley, Sam Cooke, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and U2; Connects the story of the growth of contemporary Christian music to the overall history of religion and popular music in the United States; Includes a host of images of historic and contemporary performers and other important figues in inspirational music. Fans and scholars alike can look to the encyclopedia for information on performers and other industry figures, songs and albums, concerts and festivals, the rise of Christian radio and television, and other issues related to the growth of inspirational music. This rich reference source is the work of a remarkable team of distinguished scholars who bring rigorous academic research to an underexplored facet of American culture. - Back cover.
