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.

With or Without You


We note that Gunnersbury Baptist Church has a debate entitled ‘Better with – or without - God?’ coming up.
Two speakers, one Humanist one Christian, will "go head to head in debating life, God and reality". The Humanist is Dr Peter Cave (Lecturer, Author and Chairman of the Humanist Philosophers, part of the British Humanist Association (of the ‘There’s probably no God’ London buses poster campaign). The Christian is Rev. David Robertson (Author of ‘The Dawkins Letters’, Pastor of St Peters Free Church, Dundee, columnist and debater).
