	Chapter Chapter 7 of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
		What made it worst of all for his father and sister was the fact that there was still hope that he might have been picked up on the battlefield by the people of the country, and might perhaps be lying, recovering, or dying somewhere alone, among strangers, incapable of giving any account of himself.
		From her father’s face—not sad nor crushed, but vindictive and full of unnatural conflict—she saw that there was hanging over her, coming to crush her, a terrible calamity, the worst in life, a calamity she had not known till then, a calamity irrevocable, irremediable, the death of one beloved.
		She forgot all her terror of her father, went up to him, took him by the hand, drew him to her, and put her arm about his withered, sinewy neck.

	Who should be called father? Paul of Tarsus between the Jesus tradition and patria potestas Biblical Theology Bulletin ...
		For them, the term father included reference not only to their male blood progenitors, and perhaps to their fathers' fathers, but also to the emperor at Rome, the pater patriae, the "father of the fatherland." This title, as Nicholas Purcell observes, "was eloquently suggestive of the protecting but coercive authority of the paterfamilias" (1121).
		In Roman culture this nearly absolute, coercive authority was called patria potestas, which in its range included the father's power of life and death over his children, beginning in infancy when a father chose to acknowledge and rear a child of "to expose" it, that is, throw the child away.
		However the children were motivated, their father was to be obeyed absolutely; and the deeply felt appropriateness of this demand was rooted in Roman male ideology, according to which children, slaves, and women all lacked full powers of judgment.

		He argues that through the rituals of the first-born, circumcision and Passover, Israelite fathers became involved with their children and families to a degree unheard of in other cultures, reflecting Israel's experience of God as redemptive father.
