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.

Matthew Poole


Many of you will be familiar with the 3 volume Matthew Poole commentary published by the Banner many years ago. You may not know that there is more to the story tha those volumes may sugest and Poole wrote a much larger commentary or synopsis in Latin that is now being translated into English.
