My oldest son and his family have been with us for a few days (Also my sister, whi is now nearby again, and my niece and her children and another son and his kids who live nearby too). Anyway, Rhodri likes to check out a bit of history (as do I) and so we have been trying to do that this week. First, we went to Gelligaer. As the name suggests there wa sa fort there at one time (a Roman one on the opening centuries of the last Millennium). Not much to see but interesting to know. This leaflet now printed online gives interesting info.
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.
