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.

Tattoo

You can find more such examples of sciency tattoos here. When I was a boy it was more or less only blokes in the navy or prison who got tattoos. These days everyone gets them. It's something I really don't get. The Jews were forbidden to have tattoos. In part I think that is because it is difficult to take seriously someone covered in tattoos.
