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.

Banner Book

I bought a few books at Banner. The main one was the works of Andrew Fuller in one massive volume. It is difficult to know how much I will use it (although I have found one helpful article already) but if Banner are going to produce books by and about Baptists then Baptists ought to at least buy them!
For more about and by Fuller see here and here and here.
There is a project to produce the complete works in a critical edition but quite where that project has got to I am not sure.

PS Dates for Banner 2009: 27-30 April. Main Speakers: Sinclair Ferguson, (also see here), Derek Thomas and Garry Williams. Also Lyndsay Brown. Theme: John Calvin .
