I looked it up, and it means taking the bible literally. Do you take any of the Bible literally? And if so, does that not render you the same?
Biblicism can mean that, but it can also mean a certain approach to reading the Bible itself as revelatory. That's not how Lutherans understand it. We read the Bible with a more christocentric hermeneutic. The Bible is authoritative only inasmuch as it testifies to Christ authoritatively.
The Word we worship was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. The Bible is the Word for us believers only inasmuch as it gives us Christ.
