Our second session was a report session on the work of the gospel in Iran and among Iranians. Our speaker was Pooyan Mehrshahi, the pastor of Providence Baptist Chapel in Cheltenham. He gave a brief but illuminating history of Iran and the inroads the gospel is currently making among Persian people. He sought to give a balanced assessment of the apparent growth in numbers.
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.
