| Outside the Library in Minsk there is a atatue of someone I had never heard of. His claim to fame is that he translated the Bible into Belarussian. He was more of an Erasmus than a Luther I understand. More here. |
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.

Minsk National Library again
Minsk National Library of Belarus
This is one of the last things I got to see before leaving Minsk today. The building was opened in 2006. As you all know, the main feature is called a rhombicuboctahedron shape. You can read more here. Sadly we did not have time to go up to the observation platform for a panoramic view of Minsk, which is an impressive city with wide main boulevards and attractive buildings from various periods.
