We had another excellent lunch time lecture last Monday on Zoom for the Evangelical Library. The lecturer was Rob Childs the new minister at Droylesden Independent near Manchester. Some give the impression that Wycliffe could have signed the FIEC doctrinal basis, while others are keen to deny Wycliffe's evangelicalism. This paper seemed to hit just the right note, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. A recording of the lecture can be had from the Library. Our third and final lecture of the year will be from Dr Robert Oliver on Christopher Blackwood on November 22, again on zoom at 1-2 pm. Details for logging on from the Library.
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.
