Collection › Eckhardt's Reallexikon › index › verennmieschristen
A cumulative subject index to seven Missouri Synod periodicals, compiled by E. (Ernest) Eckhardt (1868–1939) and printed at St. Louis between 1907 and 1917. Under each headword it sets numbered theses, and beside each thesis the places where the periodicals had treated it — by volume and page, running twenty years past the last of Der Lutheraner's own registers. Where the archive holds the volume a citation names, the citation below is a link to that page.
The alphabetical run is here in full, Abendmahl through Wunder, assembled from five scans: two archive.org items, a pair from Google Books that closes what had looked like a gap in the middle of the alphabet, and the archive.org tail. With it are the Beichtreden appendix, Eckhardt's own printed Register, and the separate 1913 treatise Die Schule, bound in with the later volumes and kept here under its own heading.
Headwords are spelled as Eckhardt set them, so the filter folds the differences that would otherwise hide them — Sklaverei finds Sclaverei, Konkordienformel finds Concordienformel. What you see listed is always the printed spelling.

The German below is machine transcription of the 1907–1917 print (tesseract, Fraktur model) and has not been proof-read against the page. Read it as a finding aid: the citations are what it is for, and a garbled word is a defect of our OCR, not of Eckhardt.

7. Synoden und Einzelperſonen und ihre Stellung zu den Symbolen: a. Jowaſynode. Dieſelbe bekennt ſich in ihrer Konſtitution zu den ſymboliſchen Büchern, doch kann man z.

7. Synods and individuals, and their stance toward the symbols: a. The Iowa Synod. It confesses to the symbolic books in its constitution, yet one may, for instance in the doctrine of Sunday or of the Antichrist, deviate from them without prejudice to the authority of the symbolic books. L. W. 25, 280. Theses adopted by Iowa and Ohio at Toledo, 1907: L. W. 53, 278. 282. b. The General Council has the confessions on paper, but not only tolerates false practice — it takes it under its protection. c. The General Synod. d. The Immanuel Synod in Australia. e. Frommel. f. Münkel. Binding is all doctrine of the symbols that is currently held publicly in a given church. g. Hengstenberg. Quatenus. h. Löhe. Quatenus.

8. Allerlei Reden, die man geführt hat, oder noch führt. Verbindlich ſei in den Symbolen nur a. die thetiſchen und antithetiſchen Sätze, die da anfangen: Wir glauben, lehren und bekennen, b. was im Bekenntnis Bekenntnis iſt. Weder die Motivierung, noch die Exegeſe, noch die Lehren, die nebenbei berührt werden, ſind verbindlich. Anm. Das wäre gerade ſo, als wollte man vom Wah⸗ ren nur das Wahre annehmen. — Es iſt alles bekennend, was in den Bekenntniſſen von Lehre enthalten iſt; c. die Heilslehren. Was Heilslehren ſind und was nicht, wollen ſie ſelbſt entſcheiden. — Gehören nicht alle Schriftlehren mehr oder weniger zum Heil? d. die Grundwahrheiten des Evangelii, e. das Weſentliche. — Alles, was zur Lehre gehört, iſt weſentlich, f. die Lehren, die ex profeſſo gehandelt werden. Anm. Man könnte nach all dieſen Reden auf den Gedanken kommen, warum die Väter in den Bekennt⸗ niſſen ſo viel geredet haben, was nicht hineingehört, g. was die Symbole ſymboliſch feſtſtellen wollten,

8. Various arguments that have been made, or are still being made. It is claimed that only the following is binding in the symbols: a. the thetic and antithetic sentences that begin: We believe, teach, and confess, b. what in the confession is properly confession. Neither the motivation, nor the exegesis, nor the doctrines that are touched on incidentally are binding. Note. That would be exactly as if one wanted to accept only the true part of what is true. — Everything that is contained as doctrine in the confessions is confessional; c. the doctrines of salvation. What are and are not doctrines of salvation, they want to decide for themselves. — Do not all scriptural doctrines belong more or less to salvation? d. the fundamental truths of the Gospel, e. the essential matters. — Everything that belongs to doctrine is essential, f. the doctrines that are treated ex professo. Note. Given all these arguments, one might well wonder why the fathers said so much in the confessions that, on this view, does not belong there, g. what the symbols intended to establish symbolically,

A citation shown like this names a volume the archive does not hold — most of Der Lutheraner and Lehre und Wehre past Jahrgang 10, and the five other series Eckhardt indexes, none of which are here. Those references are printed as Eckhardt set them rather than hidden: the reference is the useful thing even when we cannot serve the page. Page images of the Reallexikon itself are not served in this build; the scan note under each entry gives the item and image index in the archive.org copy.
