Jesus Freak - Definition and Overview

For the generic term, see Jesus freak.

Jesus Freak is the fourth album released by dc Talk. It sold over two million copies.

About the album title

Toby McKeehan looked up the word "freak" in the dictionary and saw a definition that read, "an ardent enthusiast." Feeling that this definition properly described his passion for Jesus, McKeehan decided that, despite the negative connotation the term "Jesus freak" had acquired in the 1970s, the band's use of the term might bring positive associations to it. Following the album's release, many Christian teens in America did indeed begin to label themselves Jesus freaks, and the positive connotation of the term generated by the album has, to some degree, endured.
