I had a sort of day off Tuesday, although following a bank holiday I felt I needed to get some things done. Eleri and I went for a pleasant walk on Monday but she was in work Tuesday so I filled the day with reading and blogging and cataloguing books on Library Thing and so on. The main book I am reading at the moment is Where the music had to go by Jim Windolf about Bob Dylan and the Beatles. Very interesting. Another thing taking up my time is annotating an interesting book I found online. I got down to West Hampstead only to find that my favourite of the two bookshops there is closing down House of Books). I took opportunity to buy two Chiltern Classics for Eleri and my son to give me on my birthday this month (forgetting Eleri has spent more than enough on a pair of Birkenstocks for me).
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.
