Hipster Christianity is by Self-avowed twenty-something Christian hipster insider Brett McCracken and is a look into the church's relevancy with hipness.
In Hipster Christianity, McCracken describes the changes he saw whilst growing up in the evangelical Christian subculture and the shift from the "stained glass and steeples" old guard of traditional Christianity to a more unorthodox, stylized 21st-century church.
These changes raise a big issue for the church in our modern world - the question of cool. Can Christianity be cool? Should it be? What happens when church and cool collide?
Hipster Christianity is about an emerging category of Christians that McCracken calls 'Christian hipsters,' an unlikely mixture of the American obsession with worldly "cool" and otherworldly religion and an investigation in to what they are about, why they exist, and what it all means for Christianity and the church's relevancy and hipness in today's youth-oriented culture.
