Abstract
According to Eskridge, "The casual, come-as-you-are informality and attachment to up-tempo contemporary music and pop culture that are the staples of this dynamic new ecclesiastical form are a direct result of the Jesus People movement." [...]the Jesus People movement was also extremely important in that it allowed evangelical youth to "negotiate a truce between the demands of their own religious heritage and the allure of secular youth culture" (8). [...]why did a movement grounded in seemingly democratizing impulses spawn authoritarian models of Christian living?
