Contemporary Christian music is currently one of the fastest growing areas of popular music. CCM is heard on more than 500 radio stations nationwide and outsells both jazz and classical music in record stores. With Christian stars Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, DC Talk, and Jars of Clay climbing the mainstream charts, some estimate the CCM industry's earnings at nearly $750 million a year.Apostles of Rock is the first critical, objective examination of contemporary Christian music. Jay Howard and John Streck reveal how it has become an American cultural phenomenon and how this musical genre relates to a larger popular culture. They map the world of CCM by bringing together the perspectives of the people who perform, study, ten to, and market this music.This text is a critical, objective examination of contemporary Christian music. The authors reveal how it has become an American cultural phenomenon and how this genre of music relates to a larger popular culture.
