Summary:
"'Be fruitful and multiply' is a verse with a storied history. In the midst of exile at the Wartburg and growing discussion surrounding monastic vows, Luther turned his attention towards a storied and ancient verse. Fueled by the contributions of his fellow reformers - especially with regard to the normative nature of man's sexuality - a powerful new understanding of this verse emerged. This new understanding, a synthesis of Luther's own scriptural understanding coupled with powerful natural-philosophical insight from Melanchthon would provide both guidance for the present and pave the way for what was to come." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
