To Remove from Office Those Who Deny
Unity of Isaiah

Wuereas, In response to memorials to the 1965 con-
vention of the LCMS the Detroit convention resolved:
“That the Synod answer these questions by appealing
to what the Scriptures themselves say: ... ‘And He
stood up to read; and there was given to Him the book
of the prophet Isaiah’ (Luke 4:16, 17; cf. Matt. 4:14-16;
Rom. 10:16-20). Thus the Scriptures ascribe ... the
Book of Isaiah to... Isaiah... . We warn against the
use of theories regarding the authorship of Isaiah...
which detract from or nullify the divine authority of
these books”; and

WHEREAS, Some professors in the LCMS continue to
deny the unity of Isaiah; therefore be it

Resolved, That the 1969 convention of The Lutheran
Church — Missouri Synod reaffirm what the 1965 con-
vention declared about the unity of Isaiah; and be it
further

Resolved, That the 1969 convention declare that all
professors and pastors within The Lutheran Church —
Missouri Synod must teach in accord with the Detroit
resolution on Isaiah and that those professors who can-
not accept the unity of Isaiah be asked to seek fellow-
ship elsewhere and be removed from their teaching
positions. ZIon Ev. LUTHERAN CHURCH

To Affirm Historicity of New Testament

Wuereas, Some liberal Bible scholars teach that
Jesus never said some of the words which are attributed
to Him in the New Testament; and

Wuereas, These scholars maintain that some of the
miracles recorded in the New Testament never actually
happened in ordinary calendar history; and
