The first comprehensive overview of contemporary inspirational
music, covering its historical roots and dramatic growth into one
of America's most vital music genres. The Encyclopedia of
Contemporary Christian Music: Pop, Rock, and Worship is the first
comprehensive reference work on a form of American music that is
far more popular than nonfans may realize. It fills a major gap in
the literature on American music and Christian culture, looking at
this increasingly popular genre in the context of the overall
history of religious music in the United States. With over 200
entries, The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music covers
important performers and 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.
Scholars and fans alike will find a wealth of revealing information
and insightful coverage illustrating the influence of gospel on
modern American music with musicians such as Elvis, Sam Cooke,
Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and U2.The work also examines the use of
fundamental rock, pop, and rap music templates in the service of
songs of faith.
