The theological priority of either evangelism or social justice has, for many decades, agitated contemporary evangelical Christianity. Various movements have attempted to reconcile what is now largely recognised as a false dichotomy; where both evangelism and social justice are, at least theologically, recognized as twin components of the gospel message. In its wake, however, another dichotomy arguably wields a similar conceptual disjunction for Christian faith. That is, either social justice is considered subordinate to the greater priority of ‘worship’, or the particularity of worship of the Triune God is considered superfluous to the praxis of social justice.

Considering these issues, this lecture traverses through metaphysics and trinitarian theology, challenges truncated visions of justice and worship, and has a brief interlude with Kim Kardashian! The lecture proposes that the Triune God is the context, content, and call to ‘Just Worship’.
