About twenty or so gathered on zoom last Monday to hear an excellent illustrated lecture from Nrman Hopkins on Samuel Annesley (c 1620-1696) the St Paul of the Nonconformists. Annesley was the Wesleys' grandfather and so his name is known but not much abpout hm It was good to be infprmed and challeneged on that score. Another zoom lecture next month (November 13) on Samuel Davies in Britain.
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.
