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.

Reading the Bible V

No sound judgement can be made unless it be in explicit conformity to God's express Word ... For in the Word of God we find an exact witness of the will of God in all he both approves and disapproves.
Pierre Viret
