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.

I went down to the British Library today to catch the last day of a modest display of Jane Austen items in their Treasury Room, marking 250 years since her birth. I also took opportunity to see the small Tyndale exhibition, marking the 500th anniversary of his New Testament.
