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 01 Viv


We probably don't get enough classical music on this blog. So .... starting with the nearest to pop they have - Vivaldi, here's the first movement of (appropriately) Winter from the Four Seasons. When I was a boy Vivaldi had not really been invented so even "best of" albums didn't feature him. A few years further on and it was difficult to move without getting the four seasons blasting at you from some direction or other. I think its really nice stuff.
