In this book Adam Hearlson argues that Christians can say a holy
"no" to oppression and injustice through the church's worship
practices. "To speak the holy no," Hearlson says, "is to refuse to
be complicit in the oppression and violence of the ruling power. It
is the courageous critique of the present and its claims of
immutability." Hearlson draws widely from Christian history to
uncover ways the church has used its traditional
practices-preaching, music, sacrament, and art-to sabotage
oppressive structures of the world for the sake of the gospel. He
tells the stories of particular subversive strategies both past and
present, including radical hospitality, genre bending, coded
speech, and apocalyptic visions. Blending history, theory, and
practice, The Holy No is both a testament to the courage of
Christians who came before and an encouragement to take up their
mantle of faithful subversion.
