Looking for a seasonal screen saver recently I realised that what I was looking for (a winter scene featuring snow and warm light) could be supplied by Thomas Kinkade. Yet, I have to confess to some shame (guilty pleasure) in being a lover of this rather schmaltzy art form. Okay, yeah, I'm going soft.
Bonhoeffer uses a similar phrase 'worldly Christianity'. 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.
