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.

10 Songs about singers


This list was prompted by a question on University Challenge last night.

2. Geno [Washington] - Dexy's Midnight Runners

3. Syd Barrett (Shine on you crazy diamond) - Pink Floyd
5. Paul McCartney - Scissor Sisters
6. John Lennon (All those years ago) - George Harrison
7. (Song for) Bob Dylan - David Bowie
