Apostles of Rock

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Apostles of Rock: The Splintered World of Contemporary Christian Music is a book about Christian Rock written by Jay R. Howard and John M. Streck.

Background[edit]

The book discusses Six Pence None the Richer's hit song "Kiss Me", which became popular outside of contemporary Christian music.[1] The book was published on August 27, 1999.[2] The book applies the categories that H. Richard Niebuhr established in Christ and Culture to contemporary Christian music.[3] The book also applies the concept of "art world" that Howard S. Becker established in his book Art Worlds.[4] The book discusses the start of Tooth & Nail Records.[5] The book also dicusses Larry Norman's album "Upon This Rock".[6] The book identifies three different types of Christian music: "Separational CCM," "Integrational CCM," and "Transformational CCM."[7] The book discusses how CCM emerged from the Jesus movement and Christian reactions to popular music.[8] The book discusses how Christian musicical artists differ on their opinion of how to approach the relationship of secular and Christian culture.[9] Tag Evers praised the book in Sojourners saying that the book "proves that not all writing about CCM has to be as disappointing as the genre itself."[10]
