The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.
Anne Steele
The Strict Baptist Historical Society Annual Lecture will take place on March 16 7 pm at Bethesda Baptist Church Kensington near Notting Hill Tube. The speaker is Sharon James who will speak on the hymn writer Anne Steele (1717-1778). Mrs James has an excellent book on this hymn writer and three other women called "In trouble and in joy". See here for the book, here for the SBHS.
Fellow hymn writer Benjamin Beddome took a shine to Miss Steele at one point Mrs James tells us. See here for details.
PS Anyone in the Westerleigh area, Robert Oliver, I note is speaking on Beddome this Saturday. Payment required. See here.
