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.

clear

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.

a. from a communion that denies the true presence of Christ in the Lord's Supper, and is therefore suspect. b. It is now the shibboleth of the Reformed church. A confessional ceremony. Note a.

39. The celebration of the Lord's Supper. Ceremonies. The celebration of the Lord's Supper in the earliest Lutheran church was essentially the same as it still is among us today. Its parts are: The Preface. The “Holy, holy, holy.” The exhortation. The Lord's Prayer. The words of institution. Christ, thou Lamb of God. The distribution. The communion hymn. The thanksgiving. Note a. Before the Reformation, the Lord's Prayer followed the words of institution. Note b. Whether the liturgy is sung or spoken makes no difference, but it should be done loudly and clearly. Note c. Existing customs should not be changed without necessity and without the congregation's consent, since the pastor is only a servant of the congregation. Note d. Ceremonies are 1. The sign of the cross. 2. The elevation of the blessed elements in Luther's time, at which the congregation bowed. 3. Laying the hand on the paten and the cup. 4. Kneeling.

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.
