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.

Father's Day 2025


One advantage of having five sons is that come Father's Day you get lots of cards. One of them also got me a book token. which I converted into the book below.



Father's Day 2023


Fathers day falls only about a month after my birthday but my five boys are always eager to give cards. Five great ones again this year. Inevitable sob for my own dad, long gone. I've been thinking of him as much as ever.

Books recently acquired


Having been to two conferences last week and it was Father's Day yesterday I have acquired a lot of books recently. Just the reading of them now. I was particularly struck at receiving a book called Fifth Sun from my fifth son (I think my fourth son put him on to it).

Father's Day 2018



It seems a long time ago now but I am wearing my main Father's Day gift today. (I don't normally get a present but I dropped a large hint and it worked). Thank you my kind sons and daughters-in-law (and my wife).

Father's Day 2014

Had a nice Father's Day Sunday. I got nice cards and two books, one on Dickens
(a digest of his novels which I often complain are too long) and a timely autobiography of Pele.

Masculine Mandate

It's Father's Day tomorrow and I notice that The Masculine Mandate by Richard Phillips is downloadable for free until the end of the month. See here.

Sul y tadau 2010


It was father's day yesterday so it was nice to get cards and presents from my boys including a nice little hamper of things I like - maltina, fudge, coffee, nuts, ambrosia rice, etc.
