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.

Tony Wilcox at The Westminster Fellowship


I failed to report on last Monday. Last Monday was the November meeting of the Westminster Fellowship. The usual twenty or so gathered to hear Tony Wilcox from Tyndale House. Tony is a very pleasant academic with an interest in the Old Testament. He introduced us, more generally, to Tyndale House and, more specifically, to current Old Testament studies. This latter segment included a quick tour through trauma theology. Copies of the atest TH mag were made available adn I have been enjoying articles this week. We should be thankful to Tyndale House for its work, although it all sounds very tedious and mainly just inches things forward and it is not work I think I could devote myself to. Most of it is appreciated, however.
