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 13 2026

 









For my day off this time I spent time reading, bought some cheese, bought a little cheeseand walked some more of the Thames Path. I went down to Tower Hill and had a coffee nearby. (Met an interesting Somali young man called Mahomet, reading Aristotle's Nicomachean ethics). I then went down to Tower Hill and rewalked a little and then on into Wapping, as far as the Shadwell Basin. Pretty much all new to me and not over interesting. I walked back to Wapping Overground and headed home. Reading was from a book on ANE peoples piacked up last Saturday, Christian biography and dictators (on my kindle).
