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.

Past diary entry Jan 04 1994

Tuesday was a long day starting at 7.15 am and ending gone 11 pm. It was less efficient but I got some things done and did some shopping and bathed the boys. I also visited a member of the congregation who'd had a baby boy. Relaxed in the evening with newspapers and TV. I was concerned at the lack of reading and sermon prep.
