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.

The Somme


This week is the 91st anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. I believe that my grandfather, William Brady, fought in that momentous battle, which few survived. He was from Newport. He was conscripted not a volunteer. He was in the lifeguards.
