I hardly notice the phases of the moon. Some cultures have been so aware of the moon as it changes that they have given names to them. For example the Celts had
January: Quiet Moon
February: Moon of Ice
March: Moon of Winds
April:
Growing Moon
May: Bright Moon
June: Moon of Horses
July: Moon of
Claiming
August: Dispute Moon
September: Singing Moon
October: Harvest
Moon
November: Dark Moon
December: Cold Moon
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.
