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.

Holiday Books 2018 2019


As usual, I was given a variety of good books over the holiday. I particularly enjoyed the Hirameki book from my youngest son and am looking forward to the drawing book from my oldest and his wife (they also bought the Jeremy Walker paperback). My father-in-law gave me the sixties picture books and my second son and his wife Histories of the unexpected. My wife bought the history mag and the others were in the secret Santa, except for the book on accents (from my third son and his wife) and the perpetual disappointments diary from kind members who are beginning to understand my melancholy approach to life.
