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.

Thank you Gary. Interesting list as usual. It's odd that Quaker oats was not founded by Quakers!

Thank you. Apparently the founder of Quaker Oats just liked the idea of goodness the name exuded.
