耶穌子民運動(Jesus Movement)是二十世紀60至70年代在美國西海岸發生的基督教運動,起源於恰克·史密斯(Chuck Smith)牧師的各各他浸信會(Calvary Chapel)與杭亭頓海灘(Huntington Beach)的所在,並在80年代消亡之前發展到北美和歐洲。它是在嬉皮士反文化運動中最重要的基督教元素,或者說,相反的,也可以說是新教內最主要的嬉皮士部分。運動的成員被稱爲耶穌人或耶穌怪。
耶穌子民運動留下了一系列的宗派和另一些基督教組織,曾對當代的基督教右派和左派的發展都有影響,耶穌音樂從中發展起來,很大的影響了當代的基督教音樂,幫助形成了各種風格,例如基督搖滾和基督金屬樂,其中又以馬拉那瑟音樂最具代表。
耶穌子民運動及耶穌人這一術語由杜安佩德森(英文:Duane Pederson)在荷里活自由報創造。耶穌怪這個詞彙原來是非基督徒嬉皮士對基督徒嬉皮士的貶義標籤,但是耶穌運動的成員將這個詞彙重塑爲積極的自我定義,他們會將食指指向天,象徵One Way ,Jesus。
儘管是廣義上嬉皮士運動的一部分,耶穌子民運動曾是作爲反反文化的一部分產生。一些人對現狀不抱幻想而變得嬉皮士。之後,這些人中的一些對嬉皮士的生活方式同樣不抱有幻想而成爲耶穌人。[1]
耶穌運動在神學上屬復原主義,尋求回到早期基督徒原初的生活。因此,耶穌人通常視教會爲叛教者,尤視美國的教會爲甚,並在總體上持決然反對主流文化的政治立場。耶穌運動的理論在某些情況下也會回歸到簡單生活和禁欲主義。耶穌人對神跡、符號和想像、忠誠、治療、祈禱、聖經、聖靈力量展示等,有很強的信仰。
例如70年代在阿斯伯里大學的一次神奇的復興引起了主流新媒體的注意,使之具有全國影響力。[2][3]
