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.

Day Off Week 5 2024


Today's day of was a bit different becasue I had arranged to meet someone and the gas engineer had to be here to fix our boiler. I did manage to get out of the house to wonderful West Hampstead, where I bought some cheese (haven't done that for a while) and picked up a secondhand book I have had my eye on since it came out. Anopther book came by post (Days of Glory). I am also reading a fascinating book on Charelmagne one of my sons bought me for Christmas. In th evening we watched the final episode of The Crown and very moving it was too. Not a bad daydespite a major computer problem.
