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.

Jonathen Leeman at Highbury


It was a good morning over at Highbury Baptist today. AGBCSE had organised a morning with Jonathan Leeman (over from Washington DC to speak at the EMA). He spoke on authority in a local church and had several helpfu thingsto say, includig the way authority can differ in its exercise. Time for questions at the end. Anyway, I bought the book. I had not heard Mr Leeman before for some reason. We were well looked after by the Grace folk who provided lunch. I guess there were about fifty of us there, mostly pastors.
