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.

Death of Allan Ahlberg


I hear that Allan Ahlberg, the children's writer, has died aged 87. With his wife Janet he produced Funnybones, Peepo, Burglar Bill, the Jolly Postman and many other books that delighted our children growing up and many others. See here for the Guardian obituary.
