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.

Good Books Recently Published or Coming Out Soon


Good Christian books continue to appear. Here are four new or fairly new ones
1. Roger Fay Understanding John Wesley: Reassessing His Faith, Theology, and Legacy (Mentor) came out in July
2. David Campbell A remarkable circle of friends (Banner) biographies of the Chalmers circle is out soon

4. Ian F Show Samuel a gift returned (Day One) ‘Studying biblical figures by means of a biographical approach can bring Scripture to life. That is what happens in this very readable account of the life of Israel’s last judge and first prophet, Samuel. On the way, we gain insights into the lives of Hannah, Saul and others as Dr Shaw deftly tackles the sometimes difficult expository and theological issues that arise in Samuel’s story.’ Just out.
