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.

Day off week 42 2019


As the above picture reveals I got over to Keats House again and this time I got to see round the place - for the first time in ages. I like Keats but have never got round to the longer poems. Much of the rest of the day was taken up with editing two chapters of a new edition of a book about music (sounding a bit cryptic there but I don't want to give too much away). I am also working on a the history of our local church and that is almost done. There was time too to read the latest Private Eye, a little bit of the book for Monday (F V Fesko First things last) and some TV with Eleri.
