About this title

From the Author

Thou, like the pelican to feed her brood
Didst pierce Thyself to give us living food;
Thy blood, O Lord, one drop has pow'r to win
Forgiveness for our world and all its sin.

-- Thee We Adore, O Hidden Savior
(Lutheran Service Book, 640:3)
"It is of the greatest importance ...  to pay closer, more thorough, and continuous attention to the health of his child's soul than to the body which he has begotten, and to regard his child as ... an eternal treasure God has commanded him to protect."

Martin Luther, "A Sermon on the Estate of Marriage," Martin Luther's Basic Theological Writings, ed. Timothy Lull. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1989. 636.
