NCLA Review - In the first chapter Wax states his theme: “So, how can we as communities of faith live in a way that subverts the ‘Caesars’ that rule people around us . . . and seek to rule us too? The rest of this book is devoted to answering that question.” He begins by discussing the fact that in Jesus’ time the world was ruled by descendants of Julius Caesar and then devotes a chapter to each of the modern-day “Caesars” that separate us from Jesus Christ. He includes: self, success, money, leisure, sex, power, and evangelism. Trevin Wax is a Southern Baptist and the pastor of First Baptist Church of Shelbyville, Tennessee.

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.
