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.
Grudem for sale
I was in a charity shop earlier today (Noah's Ark Hospice shop on the Finchley Rd) and was surprised to see a copy of Wayne Grudem's Systematic Theology going for £2. I hope they've gone on to Bavinck rather than having abandoned theology. There was no sign of the previous owner within.

Could be an angry Presbyterian still raging about the EFS/ERAS stuff. Grudem's gone but they've probably kept Berkhof.
Did you buy it?
Stephen There's lots to be upset aboout in Grudem (not that I'm entirely happy with Berkhof). Imagine a desert island where you are casr adrift with only seven systematic theologies, which wold you choose ...
Paul - No. I have one and one is enough. It wa sslightly tatty but a bargain for someone at £2.
PS Thanks for your earlier comment on stone mangers,etc.
I noticed today someone has bought it. It's gone anyway. Hopefully to a good home.
