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.

God's Rascal


I noticed the other week that Dale Ralph Davis has a new book out, iGod's Rascal. This is on Genesis 25-35 and is on the Jacob material there. It is a companion to the previous volume on Genesis 12-25 looking at the Abraham material, Faith of our Father. I was a little disappointed with the material on Luke but this is a return to form. It is the usual scholaly yet popular formula that we have come to expect. Really worth getting hold of.
