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.

Bunhill Fields Again

I did not think we would be returning to this subject so soon but if you have been watching the series of J K Rowling detective stories you may have noticed that Bunhill Fields features (slightly egregiously) in the second episode of silkworm, as illustrated. The snag here is that no new graves have been made in this London graveyard for well over a hundred years. (In this episode you also see shelves of books in someone's home and people have spotted a fat Harry Potter book there). I've enjoyed the episodes so far.
