Examines changing conceptions of gratitude from Homer to the present. In so doing, Peter Leithart highlights the profound cultural impact of early Christian “ingratitudeâ€, the release of humankind from the bonds of social and political reciprocity by a benevolent God who gave - and who continues to give - graciously.
