This book offers a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich study of the fascinating intersections of contemporary Christianity and cutting edge youth culture, drawing on interviews with dozens of musicians and sports enthusiasts in the USA, UK, Australia and South Africa, and the analysis of Evangelical sub-cultural media including music, film, underground punk zines and extreme sports Bibles. Evangelical Youth Culture: Alternative Music and Extreme Sports Subcultures makes innovative use of multiple theories of youth cultures and subcultures from sociology and cultural studies, and introduces the notion of 'serious leisure' to the study of religion, youth and popular culture. Engaging with the experiences of Pentecostal punks, surfing missionaries, township rappers and skateboarding pastors, this book makes an original contribution to the sociology of religion, youth studies, and the study of religion and popular culture.
