Book Synopsis
Be fruitful and multiply is a verse with a storied history. Whether in theology or natural law, this much-debated verses explosive potential had gone largely dormant prior to the Reformation. For Luther, however, in the context of the debate surrounding monastic vows, this verse would once again take on new life. Fueled by the contributions of his fellow reformers especially with regard to the normative nature of mans sexuality a powerful new understanding of this verse emerged. This new understanding, a synthesis of Luthers own scriptural understanding coupled with powerful natural-philosophical insight from Melanchthon, would go on to play a significant role as former celibates abandoned their vows. It would also offer normative shape to the contours of Reformation marriage even as it took its place in such important works as the Augsburg Confession and Melanchthons Apology.
