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.

10 Ways of Referring to Good Friday



  1. Friday of preparation
  2. Good Friday
  3. Holy Friday
  4. Mourning Friday
  5. Sad Friday
  6. Silent Friday
  7. High Friday
  8. Great Friday
  9. Crucified Friday
  10. Black Friday (although that has been superseded by the commercial reference to the day after Thanksgiving)
Also, Long Friday, Big Friday, Passion Friday or Easter Friday. The Welsh is dydd gwener y groglith, which I am told means cross reading Friday.
