Collection › Eckhardt's Reallexikon › index › bibelneuestestament
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.

The books which we now have in the New Testament have come down to us unfalsified, and are exactly the same ones that were written at that time. This is proven by:

2. the quotations of the disciples of the apostles and the church fathers, which agree with Scripture. These quote from almost all the books of the New Testament. The apostolic fathers alone quote from the New Testament 441 times. Note a. We also possess expositions of biblical books from the first centuries. Note b. The falsification of Scripture by Marcion (150), who accepted only the Gospel of Luke and ten Pauline epistles, was rejected with contempt:

4. The agreement of all existing Bibles in all languages, which would not be conceivable if the Bible had ever been falsified. Note. Higher criticism seeks to cast doubt on the genuineness of the New Testament books on supposedly internal grounds — language, apparent contradictions. These books are therefore said to have been written much later. — The language of the New Testament, however, is the very same as was spoken 1900 years ago. L. W. 65, [illegible]. c. Their collection. 1. The apostolic letters were preserved in the congregations to which they were sent, and were sent on to other congregations by copies, as 1 Thess. 5, 27 shows: "that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren." Col. 1, 16: "And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the congregation of the Laodiceans." 2. Later the individual writings were collected: the Gospel harmony of Tatian, 177. The Muratorian Canon, about 160. The canon was already complete by the 2nd century. Note. The letters of the apostles' disciples were not placed on the same level as those of the apostles. Council of Nicaea. 3. The canon closes with the apostles. We have no new revelations to hope for. After the completion of the canon, no unwritten word (tradition) can be acknowledged. Note. By Apocrypha of the New Testament are meant false gospels by unknown authors, e.g. the Gospel of Nicodemus. Concerning the childhood of Jesus. d. Their language. The language of the New Testament is Greek.

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.
