I tried to have a regular day off as usual this week. I was mostly reading - an interesting book on fake heroes, debunking Douglas Bader and JFK before moving on to others. I also read a good chunk of a new book on Welsh churches in the 40s, 50s and 60s by Eryl Davies. All very interesting. I got out for a coffee durig the day and then in the evening I watched a bit of gritty crime drama, which is well written but can't be recommended because of the content.
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.

Douglas Bader? Surely not!
Afraid so. Bader doesn't come out at all well in this account.
