...submissive and off the parish accounts. In this way it merely refashioned employees' ‘natural’ dependence on their employers, as a pattern of fluid and contractual economic relationships based on individual self-interest in place of an older pattern of fixed social ranks and reciprocal duties. By 1800 , the characterization of dependence was well established. It undermined older distinctions between the deserving and undeserving poor, those willing to work and those unwilling, and so discredited much contemporary poor law practice. Self-sufficiency was not...

...among all human beings rather than just among the members of a particular group, I would argue that universal human rights are those which a cultural tradition would claim for its own members and must therefore concede to members of other traditions if it is to expect reciprocal treatment from those others. In content and substance, I submit that universal human rights are based on the two primary forces that motivate all human behavior, the will to live and the will to be free. 12 Through the will to live, human beings have always striven to secure...

...Eastern monarchs was the upkeep of temples and the maintenance of worship that took place in them, through gifts and dedications, notably after military victories. Inscriptions from as early as the third millennium bce record such royal benefaction and voice the hope that reciprocal divine blessing will be showered upon the donor and his offspring. Josiah's initiative vis-à-vis the Temple of Jerusalem falls within the category of periodic repair and remodeling. But unlike the instances where the expenses were covered by royal donation, the present work was...

...about the historical settings of the battles in 1 Kings 20 and 22 , the account in 20.31–34 speaks of the relationship between the Israelite king and the Syrian king as one of “brotherhood”—that is, treaty-connection—and the placement of bazaars in Damascus and Samaria means reciprocal commercial activity. Less certain is the frequent proposal that ninth-century destruction levels at Dan or Hazor or Shechem result from Syrian military incursions. The stela from Dan is a case in point. Hazael has clashed with Jehoram of Israel and Ahaziah of Judah...

...). It is made possible in, through, and by Christ; thus it must mirror his comportment. But Jesus was sent because of God's fatherly concern for humanity ( 1:12 ), and so in the last analysis gratitude must be directed to God. Generic directives are followed by three pairs of reciprocal admonitions dealing with the relations of wife–husband, child–father, and slave–master ( 3:18–4:1 ). The nature of the socio-religious matrix in which such household codes were formulated has occasioned vigorous debate ( Balch 1992 ), whose inconclusiveness is the inevitable...

...( cf. Hab 2:2 for a prophetic message being publicly displayed). The image of a prince with an indictment for a crown corresponds to Job's ambiguous situation itself. The final oath ( vv. 38–40 ) touches on his relationship with the land. The ancients viewed society and land reciprocally; crimes against one another affected the land adversely. Furthermore, respect for the land required proper treatment, including a practice of periodic release from cultivation. Job's oath seems to echo the story about unavenged blood crying out to God. The full form of the...

...were totally illiterate, just that they had not attained the professional educational levels of the ‘elders and scribes’). This élitist perspective is reinforced by the Council's ‘us’ and ‘them’ attitude to ‘the people’ ( vv. 16, 17, 21 )—an attitude which, Luke implies, is reciprocal ( v. 21 ). ‘Boldness’ ( parrhēsia v. 13 ) is not physical courage so much as ‘frankness’ or ‘freedom of speech’, a philosophical virtue particularly admired by the Greeks. The apostles' refusal to be silenced ( v. 19 ) is a classic statement of philosophical parrhēsia ....

...the king and the people. Since the Chronicler has already introduced the second in v. 3 , he limits his description to the first (according to the Hebrew text) between Jehoiada, the people, and the king (although the people are mentioned first, unlike the source). God is not a reciprocal partner in the covenant; the human partner alone has obligations—towards God ( cf. 15:12 ). vv. 18–19 describe positive cultic reforms. In Chronicles, these occur at times when the legitimate temple service has entirely collapsed. Jehoiada organizes the offices (priests and...
