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.

We returned to London in time to lead the midweek meeting. For various reasons we thought it might be better tio have this all online but then we remembered that a visitor often comes and we have no details for her and so Eleri and I went to the chapel and four others were online. As it turned out, our riend didn't show but two refugees from the hotel round the corner did. One was M, a woman from Kuala Lumpur, a professing Christian, who arrived ten days ago and has left for opersonal reasons. The other was C, a man from Benin (where there was a coup at the end of last year) who arrived 14 days ago. They said they'd be there Sunday. I spoke on Isaiah 26:3, 4. Wonderful verses.
