Caesar’s Things/God’s Demands: The Protestant Work Ethic

When hardcore evangelicals discovered Ayn Rand, whose self-centered rational egoismsquared with their personal-Savior individualism, it was an uneasy but snug fit. An earlierevangelical uptick in hardline Calvinism set the stage for this. The idea of being “predestined”transferred to material success made possible through hard work as a sign of “chosenness.”Can this reflect Jesus’s socioeconomic, communally focused ethic? Hard questions this week!
