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.

Evangelical Library Unexpected Lecture


There was another lunch time lecture at the Library last Monday. We were supposed to have Rob Childs from Manchester on John Wycliffe. He was unwell, however, and so Dr Ian Densham very kindly stepped in at the last minute and gave us a lecture not on Wycliffe but on the background and lead up to Wycliffe with Reference to Bernard of Clairvaux and Thomas Bradwardine and others. We had a good turn out and I don't think there was to much disappointment that the paper was not on Wycliffe, which we will try and have another time. The next lecture is on Monday, December 2 and is on Thomas Treanor.
