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.

CM 02 Grieg


Morning from the Peer Gynt Suite by Norwegian Edvard Grieg is a pretty well known piece (especially since that coffee advert years back). Plenty of other Grieg pieces are well known but none as much as this one, partly no doubt becasue it does what it says on the tin. This is one of the weird things about music though. If you called it, say, Night or The day we met, it would sound somehow slightly different.
