See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
–Colossians 2:8 (ESV)–

Veracity Hill, “Ayn Rand and Christianity.”
Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind (Regnery, 1995). This used to be the Christian conservative manifesto in 1953 before Ayn Rand’s godless capitalist philosophy took over American politics. In this book, he preaches against the type of ideology of Rand espoused. Kirk was Catholic.
—. “An Encounter with Ayn Rand.”
Dr. Dustin J. Byrd, A Critique of Ayn Rand’s Philosophy of Religion: The Gospel According to John Galt (Bloomsbury, 2019). This appears to be the most thorough Christian academic critique of Rand. But it might come from a liberal Christian perspective.
David Chilton, Productive Christians In an Age of Guilt-Manipulators (Institute for Christian Economics, 1981), p. 220. “Autonomous capitalism is a washout. It is an attempt to grab the blessings of God by secularist methods. The fact that Robert J. Ringer’s Restoring the American Dream spent five months on the New York Times Best Seller List should be no cause of rejoicing to those who desire a return to Biblical free enterprise. His book should be retitled Anarchist Nightmare. It is a libertarian lawlessness. Its basic thrust can be guessed from the titles of his other hits: Looking Out for #1 and Winning Through Intimidation. That kind of capitalism can produce only cultural disintegration. Nothing will change a spiritually enslaved culture apart from freedom in Christ.”
