So I've now read the wonderful tome. What makes it so good is that it is an interesting story and it is told in an interesting way. Obviously, I know much of the story and so is of interest to me but I think that would extend not only to anyone who knows Geoff but to anyone wanting to grasp the Reformed faith today, believer or unbeliever. It is honest, self-effacing, informative, thought provoking and to the glory of God.
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.
A Great Read
