耶稣子民运动(Jesus Movement)是二十世纪60至70年代在美国西海岸发生的基督教运动,起源于恰克·史密斯(Chuck Smith)牧师的各各他浸信会(Calvary Chapel)与杭亭顿海滩(Huntington Beach)的所在,并在80年代消亡之前发展到北美和欧洲。它是在嬉皮士反文化运动中最重要的基督教元素,或者说,相反的,也可以说是新教内最主要的嬉皮士部分。运动的成员被称为耶稣人或耶稣怪。
耶稣子民运动留下了一系列的宗派和另一些基督教组织,曾对当代的基督教右派和左派的发展都有影响,耶稣音乐从中发展起来,很大的影响了当代的基督教音乐,帮助形成了各种风格,例如基督摇滚和基督金属乐,其中又以马拉那瑟音乐最具代表。
耶稣子民运动及耶稣人这一术语由杜安佩德森(英文:Duane Pederson)在好莱坞自由报创造。耶稣怪这个词汇原来是非基督徒嬉皮士对基督徒嬉皮士的贬义标签,但是耶稣运动的成员将这个词汇重塑为积极的自我定义,他们会将食指指向天,象征One Way ,Jesus。
尽管是广义上嬉皮士运动的一部分,耶稣子民运动曾是作为反反文化的一部分产生。一些人对现状不抱幻想而变得嬉皮。之后,这些人中的一些对嬉皮士的生活方式同样不抱有幻想而成为耶稣人。[1]
耶稣运动在神学上属复原主义,寻求回到早期基督徒原初的生活。因此,耶稣人通常视教会为叛教者,尤视美国的教会为甚,并在总体上持决然反对主流文化的政治立场。耶稣运动的理论在某些情况下也会回归到简单生活和禁欲主义。耶稣人对神迹、符号和想象、忠诚、治疗、祈祷、圣经、圣灵力量展示等,有很强的信仰。
例如70年代在阿斯伯里大学的一次神奇的复兴引起了主流新媒体的注意,使之具有全国影响力。[2][3]
