The Devil’s Music

- How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock 'n' Roll

About The Devil’s Music

Randall Stephens traces rock's inspiration to the Pentecostal churches where Elvis, Little Richard, and others worshipped. Faith, which served as a vehicle for whites' fears, led them to condemn the godless music of blacks and hippies. But in a reversal of strategy, evangelicals later embraced Christian rock as a way to project Jesus's message.
