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.

Lost Beatles Tape

I was pleased to come across an interesting radio programme yesterday. Sixties star Helen Shapiro presented the story of a lost TV interview with the Beatles that was recorded in April 1964 and recently found languishing in a rusty film can in a garage in South London. Experts say it's the earliest surviving interview where Lennon and McCartney talk about how they met and discuss the song writing process. There is only 9 minutes of footage and they rather spun the whole thing out to make a 30 minute programme but, if you are a Beatles fan, it was very interesting on several levels. Check it out here.
