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.

Abendmahl— Das Irdiſche

—

Anm. a. Welch ein Troſt in Anfechtung, wenn unſer Glaube wankt! Anm. b. Vom Glauben hängt nicht das Weſen, ſondern der Nutzen ab. 8 52. Anm. c. Bei den Reformierten macht der Glaube das Sakrament. Anm. d. Dann würden Lutheraner auch in reformier— ten Kirchen Chriſti Leib empfangen, wenn ſie nur glauben. h. Allein von Chriſti Verheißung. Anm. Die Worte: „Die Erde bringe hervor“ einmal geſprochen, wirken alle Jahre. So im Abendmahl. Das Irdiſche.

Note a. What comfort this is in times of trial, when our faith wavers! Note b. Faith does not determine the essence, but the benefit. § 52. Note c. Among the Reformed, faith is what makes the sacrament. Note d. In that case, Lutherans too would receive Christ's body in Reformed churches, if only they believed. h. It depends solely on Christ's promise. Note. The words “Let the earth bring forth,” spoken once, are effective every year. So it is in the Lord's Supper. The Earthly Element.

28. Das Irdiſche im Abendmahl iſt Brod und Wein. Anm. a. Warum gerade Brod und Wein? Weil es den Menſchen nährt und ſtärkt. Anm. b. Ueber Art und Form der irdiſchen Elemente im Abendmahl hat Gott kein Gebot gegeben, darum iſt es einerlei, 1. Ob das Brod geſäuert oder ungeſäuert. 2. Ob der Wein weiß oder rot iſt, ſo lange es nur Gewächs des Weinſtocks iſt. Anm. c. Chriſtus hat jedenfalls ungeſäuertes Brod und gegohrenen Wein gebraucht, wie die Juden bei dem Paſſah zu gebrauchen pflegten. Anm. d. Ueber die Art des Brodes hat die katholiſche Kirche jahrelang geſtritten. Anm. e. Zwar ſoll man keinen gefälſchten Wein benutzen, doch iſt der Gebrauch von Wein, mit etwas Waſſer vermiſcht, wie die Katholiken gebieten, ein Mittelding. Anm. f. Ungegohrener Wein iſt kein Wein. Anm. g. Iſt in einer Gemeinde eine beſtimmte Sorte Wein eingebürgert, dann ſollte der Paſtor nicht leicht und oft eine Anderung vornehmen.

28. The earthly element in the Lord's Supper is bread and wine. Note a. Why precisely bread and wine? Because they nourish and strengthen man. Note b. God has given no commandment concerning the kind and form of the earthly elements in the Lord's Supper; therefore it makes no difference 1. Whether the bread is leavened or unleavened. 2. Whether the wine is white or red, so long as it is only the fruit of the vine. Note c. Christ in any case used unleavened bread and fermented wine, as the Jews were accustomed to use at the Passover. Note d. The Catholic church argued for years over the kind of bread. Note e. One should indeed not use adulterated wine, yet the use of wine mixed with a little water, as the Catholics prescribe, is a matter of indifference. Note f. Unfermented juice is not wine. Note g. If a particular kind of wine has become customary in a congregation, the pastor should not lightly or often make a change.

29. Da das Abendmahl der Einſetzung Chriſti gemäß verwaltet werden muß darf man die irdiſchen Elemente nicht verändern. Anm. a. Wo man z. B. für Wein etwas anders nimmt, hat man nicht des Herrn Abendmahl. Chriſtus hat keine Verheißung gegeben, daß ſein Blut in ſolchem Falle gegen⸗— wärtig ſei. Anm. b. Solche, die abſolut keinen Wein trinken kön— nen, abſtemii, ſollen dann lieber vom Abendmahl fern bleiben. Anm. e. Paſtor und Gemeinde muß darauf ſehen, daß nur echter Wein gebraucht wird, ſonſt ſetzen ſie die Chriſten in die peinlichſte Gewiſſensangſt.

29. Since the Lord's Supper must be administered according to Christ's institution, one may not alter the earthly elements. Note a. Where, for example, something else is used instead of wine, one does not have the Lord's Supper. Christ gave no promise that his blood would be present in such a case. Note b. Those who absolutely cannot drink any wine, abstemii, should then rather stay away from the Lord's Supper. Note c. Pastor and congregation must see to it that only genuine wine is used, otherwise they place Christians in the most painful anguish of conscience.

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.
