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.

Lunch time lecture on Vavasor Powell

Southsea Castle, Portsmouth, one of Vavasor's last prisons


It was my privilege on Monday to give a lunchtime lecture at the Evangelical Library once more. I spoke on Vavasor Powell the Welsh Puritan and Baptist., who died 350 years ago this year. We were around twenty people present and most of us knew little about the man, who suffered and preached a great deal in his relatively short Christian life. The next lecture is on March 30, on Alfred Saker.
