Jesus Freak

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Jesus freak, a pejorative term for those involved in the Jesus movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, was quickly embraced by them and soon broadened to describe a Christian subculture throughout the hippie and back-to-the-land movements that focused on universal love and pacifism, and relished the radical nature of Jesus' message. Jesus freaks often carried and distributed copies of the "Good News for Modern Man," a 1966 translation of the Bible that fit the bill by including only the New Testament in its initial editions, and by being in modern English. In Germany there is a Christian youth culture, which calls itself Jesus Freaks. They claim to have their roots in the Jesus freaks from the US. In 1995, a Christian rock group, DC Talk, released an album titled Jesus Freak. The song Jesus Freak from that album was then re-recorded by the Newsboys on July,13,2010.
