Description

The author examines changing conceptions of gratitude from Homer to the present. In so doing, he highlights the profound cultural impact of early Christian "ingratitude," the release of humankind from the bonds of social and political reciprocity by a benevolent God who gave - and who continues to give - graciously. --from inside jacket flap.
