Questions: 1. According to Rauchway, what connection did many Depression era Americans see between work

and personal dignity? I

Americans have established a very strong connection between work and personal dignity, going so far as not to believe that one of these elements would exist without the other.

Explanation:

Rauchway, through his book "The Great Depression and the New Deal: A Very Short Introduction", showed how the great depression was something complex and profound, that not only affected the economic quality of Americans, but also affected the emotional, the personality and the way Americans viewed themselves. For Rauchway, the Americans established a very strong relationship between work and personal dignity, and once they found themselves without work, they found themselves without dignity, failed and very unmotivated. This thought was worked on for years and it took a strong political and social work to defeat it.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
