I read with interest your article on Sir Paul Marshall (How faith drives bidder for Telegraph who wields growing influence on Tories, 14 May). Of course, we all fall short before God as we work to build his kingdom here on Earth, so I hope Sir Paul will take my comments as kindly meant.
I struggle to understand how Sir Paul squares his faith with his enormous personal wealth. Christ said it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven (Matt 19:24). I also find it difficult to understand his support for free-market capitalism, since that system is based on greed and the love of money. I would remind him of 1 Timothy 6:10 – “for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil”.
