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.

Carey Blogged

So it was more or less possible and hopefully of some interest to some. After a quick cuppa I headed back with Richard, Clinton and Femi (but not Klebert who was off to Brighton) plus Tom Schreiner who needed to be at Heathrow first thing today (Friday). That was a real bonus.
Theological students have endless questions and so it was good to listen to the conversation as they fired away. Tom is not a Sabbatarian so it was good to knock that one back and forth in preparation for the conference next month on the law.
It was great to be back with the family. Eleri had prepared a lovely meal for Tom and I and we enjoyed chatting, sharing notes on family life and trying not to stay up too late. It's difficult to unwind after a conference, however. I eventually got off and got Tom to Heathrow in good time, then came home and went to bed again!

Very interesting. I was tempted by Carey but the cost was way too much to be affordable.

Conferences seem to be pretty expensive these days. The church here is very kind.
