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.

Holiday Gem 04

4. In the bleak midwinter by Bert Jansch.
This 1974 single is a very pleasant rendition of Christina Rosetti's hymn by the well respected Scots folk guitarist who first came to prominence in the sixties with the group Pentangle (Light flight, etc). I discussed the hymn last Christmas
here
I discovered this version of the hymn on tape 2 of the cassette version of The Best Christmas Album in the World ... Ever!
