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.

Novelists 8 Fanny Burney


Fanny (Frances) Burney 1752-1840 wrote four novels the best known of which was Camilla. Read and enjoyed by Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf called her "the mother of English fiction." A best-seller and a celebrity in her own day, Burney was also diarist. Her recollections of George III and Samuel Johnson are full of interest.
