Collection › Eckhardt's Reallexikon › index › urbeitimmeichgottes
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.

1. Die Arbeit im Reiche Gottes iſt eine Arbeit an den Seelen der Menſchen, und zwar a. an unſerer eige⸗ nen Seele (Heiligung), b. an den Seelen anderer. Anm. a. Es iſt eine Arbeit nach innen (Stärkung des Glaubens, Bewahrung des Evangelii) und nach außen. Ausbreitung des Reiches Gottes. Miſſion.) Pflanzen und begießen. Anm. b. Die Arbeit nach außen wird oft dargeſtellt unter dem Bild einer Ernte, die eingeheimſt werden ſoll. Anm. c. Welch eine herrliche, köſtliche Arbeit! Anm. d. Nicht alle Arbeit iſt Arbeit im Weinberg Gottes. Mancher arbeitet fleißig, aber ohne Glauben und Liebe und ſteht darum bei aller Arbeit doch müßig.

1. Work in the kingdom of God is work upon the souls of men, namely a. upon our own soul (sanctification), b. upon the souls of others. Note a. It is work inwardly (strengthening of faith, preservation of the Gospel) and outwardly (spread of the kingdom of God, missions). Planting and watering. Note b. Work outwardly is often portrayed under the image of a harvest that is to be gathered in. Note c. What a glorious, precious work! Note d. Not all work is work in God's vineyard. Many work diligently, but without faith and love, and therefore, for all their work, still stand idle.

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.
