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.

CM 04 Beethoven


As with Bach, you're spoiled for choice but I thought the Moonlight Sonata would be good. This is the first of the three movements and the one that attracted the moonlight epithet about 30 years after composition.
