Amikor 1905-ben Max Weber legismertebb munkája, A protestáns etika és a kapitalizmus szelleme megjelent, aligha volt véletlen, hogy a szerző a protestáns etika legfontosabb jellegzetességeit a kálvinizmusban találta meg. Természetesen fogalmazott úgy, hogy a régi protestáns etika és a kapitalizmus szellemének fejlődése közötti viszony vizsgálatában Kálvin, a kálvinizmus és más puritán szekták alkotásaiból fogunk kiindulni.

In this article we shortly introduce T. S. Eliot, noting some major themes he addresses, particularly in relation to religious faith and the search for meaning in life. In the second and third sections our article concentrates on the 1934 church pageant, called ‘The Rock’. This drama was only published once and is hard to find. However, the poetry Eliot included in the drama, called ‘Choruses from The Rock’, have been reprinted and included in various volumes so that these are readily available. But among those people who have read some or all of the ten Choruses from The Rock, very few have ever found a copy of the play in which these poems were situated.1 We present quotations from the ten choruses, with a few annotations at times concerning the context. In the fourth section we look at various aspects of Eliot’s Christology as found in The Rock.
