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—Glaube

—

Anm. b. Was für Glauben fordert das Abendmahl? Nur Glauben an die Gegenwart Chriſti im Abendmahl? Das glaubt der Teufel auch, ſondern vor allen Dingen Glauben an die Worte „für euch.“ Anm. c. Darum iſt das Sakrament nur den Gläubigen zu reichen. b. Das Abendmahl wirkt nicht ex opere operato, um des getanenen Werkes willen, auch ohne Glauben. Es wirkt nicht phyſiſch wie eine Arznei, welche hilft, wenn ſie im Schlaf genommen wird. Eſſen und Trinken tuts freilich nicht. Anm. Dann müßte es auch eine vom Wort verſchiedene Wirkung haben. Antith. a. Katholiken. Das Abendmahl wirkt ex opere operato. b. Die Neueren. § 45b und e. Anm. a. Dieſer Irrtum ſteckt auch in vielen Chriſten, die den Abendmahlsgang für ein gutes Werk anſehen, um des willen ſie Gnade erlangen . Sie wollen Gott damit einen Dienſt tun. Anm. b. Dann erlangt der Menſch Vergebung durch ſeine Werke. Damit wird das Chriſtentum umgeſtoßen. Anm. c. Wir ſind im Abendmahl nur Gäſte.

Note b. What kind of faith does the Lord's Supper require? Only faith in the presence of Christ in the Lord's Supper? The devil believes that too. Rather, above all, faith in the words “for you.” Note c. Therefore the sacrament is to be given only to believers. b. The Lord's Supper does not work ex opere operato, for the sake of the work performed, even without faith. It does not work physically like a medicine that helps even when taken in one's sleep. Eating and drinking alone certainly do not accomplish it. Note. In that case it would also have to have an effect different from that of the Word. Antithesis. a. Catholics. The Lord's Supper works ex opere operato. b. Modern writers. §§ 45b and e. Note a. This error is also present in many Christians who regard going to the Lord's Supper as a good work, for the sake of which they obtain grace. They think thereby to do God a service. Note b. In that case man obtains forgiveness through his own works. Christianity is thereby overturned. Note c. In the Lord's Supper we are only guests.

53. Die Ungläubigen. ag. Auch die Ungläubigen empfangen im Abendmahl Chriſti Leib und Blut. 1. Cor. 11, 27: Schuldig am Leibe Chriſti. Vers 29: Unterſcheidet nicht den Leib des Herrn. Röm. 3. 3: Sollte ihr Unglaube Gottes Glaube aufheben? 2. Tim. 2, 13: Glauben wir nicht u. ſ. w. (1. Cor. 10, 3—5: Sie haben alle einerlei geiſtliche Speiſe gegeſſen.) Anm. a. Beiſpiele: So iſt es auch bei der Taufe. — Wenn wir blind ſind, ſcheint die Sonne doch. Anm. b. Das Eſſen im Abendmahl iſt eben kein geiſtliches, ſondern ein mündliches, die Vereinigung der Ele— mente mit Chriſti Fleiſch und Blut eine weſentliche. Anm. e. Empfangen die Unchriſten Chriſti Leib und Blut nicht, dann auch die Chriſten nicht. Antith. Manche Pietiſten. In dem Augenblicke, da die Gottloſen Chriſti Leib empfangen wollen, verliert ſich die ſakramentliche Vereinigung. Burk. b. Die Ungläubigen empfangen nicht den Nutzen des Sakraments, die Vergebung. Siegehen leer aus. Anm. Abraham hat des Leibes Chriſti genoſſen, aber nicht den Leib; Judas hat den Leib genoſſen, aber nicht des Leibes. c. Sie empfangen 1. Das Abendmahl zuihrem Gericht. 1. Cor. 11, 25. R. Pi. 117. Lied 199, 2. 205, 3, 6.

53. The unbelievers. a. Unbelievers too receive Christ's body and blood in the Lord's Supper. 1 Cor. 11:27: Guilty of the body of Christ. v. 29: Does not discern the body of the Lord. Rom. 3:3: Shall their unbelief nullify God's faithfulness? 2 Tim. 2:13: If we believe not, etc. (1 Cor. 10:3—5: They all ate the same spiritual food.) Note a. Examples: It is the same with baptism. — Even if we are blind, the sun still shines. Note b. The eating in the Lord's Supper is precisely not a spiritual one, but an oral one; the union of the elements with Christ's flesh and blood is an essential one. Note e. If non-Christians do not receive Christ's body and blood, then neither do Christians. Antithesis. Some Pietists: At the very moment when the ungodly attempt to receive Christ's body, the sacramental union is lost. Burk. b. Unbelievers do not receive the benefit of the sacrament, the forgiveness. They come away empty-handed. Note. Abraham partook of the benefit of Christ's body, but not the body itself; Judas partook of the body itself, but not of its benefit. c. They receive 1. The Lord's Supper to their judgment. 1 Cor. 11:25. R. Pi. 117. Hymn 199:2. 205:3, 6.

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.
