I did see this in Barnes and Noble...judging by the book's jacket description and a brief skimming, it seems like the same ol' contradictions...it's useless to us in the longrun if the moral defense for Capitalism relies on Christianity. Useless.

I took this from the reviews of the book at Amazon.com: "In Money, Greed, and God, Jay Richards shows us . . . a capitalism grounded in the truth about human beings as free, morally responsible, co-creators charged with dominion and stewardship of the earth by the loving God to whom we are all ultimately accountable. (Rev. Robert A. Sirico, President of the Acton Institute )"

Without knowing the book I gave the reply to it in my article "Religion & Liberalism", recently published at Rebirth of Reason, to which Ed Thompsons "Letter to my socialist friend" can be very suitably added.

I was looking at this book again In B&N, this time at the index for "Ayn Rand." Sure enough, she and Branden were listed...chapter five has a lengthy section on "the virtue of selfishness?". Anyone interested really should see it for themselves, but in a nutshull:

The author read Rand early on, went through a phase, grew out of it, Rand misread Adam Smith, Galt is NOT Scrooge, but suspiciously "Christ-like." Rand was popular because she did offer a morality, but it was wrong, and God is better.

Or something like that.
