Eckhardt's Homiletisches Reallexikon, 1907–1917

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.

26. Das Recht der Abſetzung ſteht a. nicht bei der Obrigkeit, Konſiſtorium, b. nicht bei der Synode. Dieſelbe kann wohl einen Paſtor aus der Synode ausſchließen, ihn aber nicht ſei⸗ nes Amtes entſetzen oder in den Bann tun, c. ſondern allein bei der Gemeinde. Wem das Recht zuſteht, das Amt zu verleihen, dem ſteht auch das Recht zu, das Amt nach der von Gott geordneten Vorſchrift wieder zu nehmen.

26. The right of removal rests a. not with the civil authority, the consistory, b. not with the synod. The synod may indeed exclude a pastor from the synod, but it cannot remove him from his office or put him under the ban, c. but with the congregation alone. Whoever has the right to bestow the office also has the right, according to the rule ordained by God, to take the office back again.

27. Wann kann Abſetzung geſchehen und wann nicht? Abſetzung kann a. nicht geſchehen 1. wegen Mangel an großen Gaben, 2. wegen Gebrechen und Schwachheiten. Es hat Gott gefallen, das Predigtamt durch ſchwache, ſündige Menſchen auszurichten. Kon. 127; 3. wegen Alters, ſolange der Paſtor ſein Amt noch gut verſieht; b. ſoll geſchehen 1. wegen falſcher Lehre, wenn der Paſtor hartnäckig daran feſthält. — Röm. 16, 17: Weichet von denſelbigen. Einen ketzeriſchen Menſchen meide. Anm. a. Predigt ein Paſtor falſche Lehre, ſo ſoll die Gemeinde ihn nicht ohne weiteres abſezen, ſondern ihn zunächſt vermahnen. Erſt wenn alle Ermahnung fruchtlos iſt, ſoll Abſetzung geſchehen Anm. b. Tritt ein Paſtor gegen die Bekenner der Wahrheit als Feind auf und ſucht Trennung und Spaltung anzurichten, dann darf mit dem: „Meide ihn“ nicht länger gewartet werden. Anm. c. Der Paſtor verpflichtet ſich bei ſeiner Einführung auf die lutheriſchen Bekenntniſſe: 2. wegen 7. 63 Lebenswandels. 1 Kor. 3, 1. 7: Es ſoll aber ein Biſchof unſträflich ſein. Er 1—017 aber auch ein gutes Zeug · nis haben von denen, die draußen ſind. Stöckh. A. T. 276. Anm. a. Auch wenn er Buße tut, ſoll er nicht im Amte bleiben, wenn er ſeinen guten Namen vor der Welt verloren hat. Anm. b. Wider einen Alteſten nimm keine Klage auf außer zween oder dreien Zeugen. 1 Tim. 7

27. When can removal take place and when not? Removal cannot a. take place 1. because of a lack of great gifts, 2. because of infirmities and weaknesses. It has pleased God to carry out the preaching office through weak, sinful men. Kon. 127; 3. because of age, as long as the pastor still discharges his office well; b. should take place 1. because of false doctrine, if the pastor obstinately clings to it. — Rom. 16:17: Avoid them. Avoid a heretical man. Note a. If a pastor preaches false doctrine, the congregation should not depose him without further ado, but should first admonish him. Only when all admonition is fruitless should removal take place. Note b. If a pastor comes forward as an enemy against the confessors of the truth and seeks to bring about separation and division, then one may no longer delay with "avoid him." Note c. The pastor obligates himself at his installation to the Lutheran confessions; 2. because of an evil manner of life. 1 Tim. 3:2, 7: But a bishop must be blameless. He must also have a good report of them which are without. Stöckh. A. T. 276. Note a. Even if he does repent, he should not remain in office if he has lost his good name before the world. Note b. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 1 Tim.

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.
