The trio put out a series of records that quickly secured their place at the forefront of contemporary Christian music. But, with their fourth studio album \u003ci\u003eJesus Freak\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), dc Talk staked a powerful claim on the worldly market of alternative music, becoming an evangelical group with secular selling power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book sets out to study this mid-90s crossover phenomenon—a moment of cultural convergence between Christian and secular music and an era of particular political importance for American evangelicalism. Written by two queer scholars with evangelical pasts, \u003ci\u003eJesus Freak\u003c\/i\u003e explores the importance of a multifarious album with complex ideas about race, sexuality, gender, and politics—an album where dc Talk wonders, “What will people do when they hear that I’m a Jesus freak?” and evangelical fans stake a claim for Christ-like coolness in a secular musical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596106416364,"sku":"9781501331664","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781501331664-dc-talk-s-jesus-freak.jpg?v=1777916877"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/professor-will-stockton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
