Biblical inerrancy
In 1936 Franzmann accepted the position to serve as a professor of Greek and English at Northwestern until the summer of 1946. In 1946, he was called to teach at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1957, he became the chairman of Exegetical Theology at Concordia. He was notable for his traditional stance on Biblical inerrancy and inspiration against historical criticism well before the walkout that led to the Seminex crisis.
