Abstract: A Christian is a person who, beyond any way of life or moral or spiritual practices, follows Christ. Catholic theology shows how this influences the life of the Christian. Even in today's secularized society, the Christian is seen as a person with a distinctive view of life and goals. Yet when we see the Christian as an entrepreneur or manager - i.e., engaged in the task of creating and managing companies - his outward activity seems no different from that of other, non-Christian entrepreneurs. The purpose of this paper is to understand what makes the Christian who works as an entrepreneur different, in order to try to answer the questions we may ask ourselves about the advantages and disadvantages of being a Christian.
