Blaise Pascal was born June 19 1623. It was a great privilege to be one of just under thirty who zoomed in to listen to a paper on his life and his famous Pensees written in the last four years of his short life. For the sake of time, very little was said about his scientific and mathematical writings and his important theological writings such as those on grace that deserve to be better known. He died in August 1662. Our lectureer was Stephane Simonnin, pastor of Ealing Road Baptist Church, Brentford. It was a careful and well thought through paper. We hope it will appear in print next Autumn, in In Writing. For recordings contact 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.
