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.\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47509028077726,"sku":"UBD-9781501331664","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501331664.jpg?v=1780639831","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501331664","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
