"Christian Hedonism" was a term Piper made popular in his "Desiring God" book.
Hedonism:
"HEDONE was the spirit (daimona) of pleasure, enjoyment and delight. As a daughter of Eros (Love) she was associated more specifically with sensual pleasure. Her opposite number were the Algea (Pains). The Romans named her Voluptas."
Marry a word with that history and connotation to "Christian" and what do you get?
