An Apt Description of Truths Treatment By "Modern" Theologians of the Lutheran Church: 2 Timothy 4:4

Abstract

In this essay, Becker critiques the theological drift within modern Lutheranism, particularly the denial of biblical inerrancy and the redefinition of truth and revelation. Using 2 Timothy 4:4 as a lens, he exposes how neo-orthodox theology undermines Scripture by labeling biblical accounts—such as creation, the fall, and the resurrection—as myths or symbolic narratives. Becker defends the propositional nature of divine revelation and warns that redefining truth as subjective conviction erodes doctrinal integrity. He argues that such views not only distort biblical teaching but also compromise the Gospel itself. The essay calls the Wisconsin Synod to recognize its unique position in preserving biblical fidelity and urges its members to boldly proclaim and share the inerrant Word of God.
