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 07 Rimsky-Korsakov


We go logically (I think) from Mussorgsky to annother Russian Rimsky-Korakov and his most famous piece. Written for an interlude in his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, it has often been copied by jazz and rock musicians. More here. This is the German philharmonic.
