We were just under double figures last Wednesday evening when we met for Bible study and prayer. I decided to go on in Levitics with the main part of Chapter 14 (leaving the stuff on mould in clothes for later) and focus on when a person is declared unclean from a skin disease. Philip Eveson's Welwyn Commentary is a real gem and I lifted his eight gospel observations straight into my own presentation. (My only contribution was that the two birds show propitiation and expiation - a quick look just now shows that at least one other person agrees but another is much more nuanced). The prayer time was good.
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.
