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.

Blog of the Week 6


J Gresham Machen

John Gresham Machen
Nicknamed Das (as in Madchen)
Thought that the liberals were sin'ster
And so started Westminster

There once was a teacher called Machen
He must have been blessed with quite thick skin
When his name they'd abuse
For anti-modernist views
He carried on preaching salvation

This blog seeks to round up material on J Gresham Machen, founder of Westminster Theological Seminary. I began it in 2008 after a week studying Machen at the London Seminary. It can be found here. There are about 150 posts there at the moments and getting on for 6000 hits. I probably need to give it a little more attention than I do.
Most popular post on the blog (getting on for 3000 hits) is the one on how to say the man's name. You can find it here.
