E. J. (Edwin James) Brady (1869 – 1952) was an Australian poet born at Carcoar, New South Wales, and educated both in the USA and Sydney. He worked as a wharf clerk, a farmer and journalist, editing both rural and city newspapers. He was a friend and correspondent of Sir Edmund Barton, the first Australian prime minister and helped to save Henry Lawson's life in 1910. He later established a writers' and artists' colony at Mallacoota, in 1909, and continued to live there until his death in 1952 at the age of 83. More here and here
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.
