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.

From the mouth of God by Sinclair Ferguson


Sinclair Ferguson's latest book is well worth reading whatever level you might be at. Its 11 chapters in four parts deal with many matters relating to the Bible - its authenticity,  its origins, its inerrancy,  hermeneutics, application, etc. it is an excellent help to trusting, reading, and applying the Bible. There are useful appendices by John Murray and John Owen. It also contains a bibliography and a Bible Reading Plan.
