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.

Iain Murray bibliography

I had meant to draw attention to the fact that Iain H Murray has now reached his eightieth birthday but I have been away and it slipped my mind. I understand that he was appropriately honoured at the Banner. He is a fine author and has produced at least 20 or 30 excellent books and booklets. Wikipedia lists some 26 of them (see below)
Word has it that his most recent works are a biography of the 19th century preacher Archibald Brown and (due out in late May early June) a biography of John MacArthur John MacArthur Servant of the Word and Flock. They both sound very interesting.

Hi Gary.
Iain Murray is my undisputed favourite author, and both of those new titles sound wonderful. I think some heavy Father's Day present hints will have to be dropped around here!
Trust you're well and settling back post-Kenya.
