The Role of Music in End-Times Culture (#206)

How does music contribute to forming a community identity? Dan welcomes guest Matt Knight to talk about how “End Times” songs helped shape the cultural understanding of the Jesus Movement in the early ‘70s and beyond. Much like Billy Graham’s “Crusades,” powerful emotional experiences and songs played into the plausibility structures of this specific subculture, reinforcing the idea that Jesus was coming back soon. Dan and Matt examine songs by Larry Norman, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, and more.
