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.

Bible Exhibition

I forgot to mention that while I was away I popped into the National Library in Aberystwyth to see their little exhibition of Bibles marking the anniversary of the AV. It's still on until September 10. While nothing amazing there were still early AVs, a Bishops Bible, a handwritten Wycliffe Gospel, William Morgan's Hebrew Testament and his Welsh translation, etc.
