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.

Brainerd Resources


There are several resources for David Brainerd on the net. here and Edwards' presentation of his life beginning here. Many other sites link to the ccel edition. The superb Yale edition (Volume 7 in the Complete Works) is not yet available online but will be one day. See here.

The wikipedia entry here is brief but has plenty of links and a few pictures.
A nice page of quotes appears here.
Amazon.com currently lists about 12 biographies of Brainerd, of various lengths, available besides the Edwards one.
A biography (in pdf) of John Brainerd, David's brother and successor, is available here.
