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.

Hymn of the week 24

Mighty Christ from time eternal,
Mighty, He man's nature takes,
Mighty, when on Calv'ry dying
Mighty, death itself He breaks.
See His might,
Infinite,
King of heaven and earth by right!

Mighty was He in heaven's purpose,
Mighty, in the pledge to save,
Mighty, from His birth to Calv'ry,
Mighty, bursting from the grave.
Still will He
Mighty be
When things hidden now we see.


Great my Jesus in His Person,
Great as God and man is He,
Great His comeliness and beauty,

White and ruddy, fair to see.
Great that sight,

Sovereign Might,
Throned secure on heaven's height!


Translated from the Welsh of Titus Lewis and an anonymous writer (verse 2) by Graham Harrison.
