Looks like an Index of the journal “Lehre und Wehre” (‘Doctrine and Defense/Protection). Doctrine makes sense, since it’s a publication from the Lutheran Church (of the USA). The defence part could be defence of their particular version of Christianity.
In any case, it looks like the journal “Lehre und Wehre” was a fairly well known 19th century Lutheran journal.
Here’s an interpretation of the book by a theological paper from the US from 1955, if you want to know more about its background and contemporary context, on top of the info /u/Willsxyz shared.
Index of
“Education and Defences”
years 1 to 28
and of the
synodal reports
from 1847 to 1881.
St. Louis, Mo.
Lutheran Concordia Publishing House
1884
Exactly what is meant by “defences” I can’t say (the word has several possible translations); it might be literal, in the sense of military defence, or metaphorical. Translation requests are better directed at r/translator, if you want any more translated.
