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.

Andrew Bonar Lecture


The Evangelical library have announced their Annual Lecture for 2010. It will be at 6.30 pm on June 7 and on Scots worthy Andrew Bonar. They say
This year sees the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of that great 19th century Scots minister Andrew Bonar. The Reverend Maurice Roberts of Inverness has kindly agreed to speak on Bonar on the occasion of our 2010 annual lecture which will again be held at Bethesda Baptist Church, Kensington Place, London W8, near Notting Hill Gate tube station at 6.30 pm on Monday, June 7, 2010. We are very grateful to Mr Roberts for committing himself to lecture on this important figure in Scots church history. Bonar was not only the biographer of M’Cheyne and the brother of Horatius but a significant figure in his own right in the days of the disruption and beyond.
