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.

Peace Planet


I should have passed on this edited (1:54) version of Peace Planet (based on Bach) from Ekseption when we were looking at concept albums. The set features the late great Rick Van Der Linden. This is from 1971. Excuse the hair.

Awful in the new sense you mean? Do you not like Bach?

I like Bach fine. Why not try some Jacques Loussier, Gary, if you don't like your Bach straight?
