Christians are too often guilty of pledging their allegiance to
the influential principalities and powers of this age rather than
to Christ alone. In Holy Subversion, Trevin Wax challenges such
behavior by urging a return to the subversive lifestyle of the
earliest Christians. Their proclamation and demonstration that
"Jesus is Lord" directly opposed the Caesar worship of their
day.
Today, Christians in the West must choose between Jesus and our
"Caesars": self, success, money, leisure, sex, power. What would it
look like, asks Wax, if today's church reclaimed the communal,
subversive nature of the gospel, intentionally undermining all
contenders for our devotion? How would the message that "Jesus is
Lord" change our thinking about our jobs, our families, and our
church participation? Here this gifted pastor-theologian offers
help in taking our faith public, dethroning modern-day Caesars,
honoring the Lordship of Christ, and understanding the church as
the ultimate counterculture-an embodiment of Christ's supremacy
over all.
