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.

Past Diary Jan 03 1974

Another day another paper round to start, a bit more Greek in between and a prayer meeting in the evening, with lots of young people praying. All five I list are in the Lord to this day. I also met with some strange Christian there who I don't sound so sure of.  I must have been reading the life of Bunyan (Frank Mott Harrison) as well as his book on prayer.
