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—Kraft

—

Anm. a. Damit iſt noch nicht das endgiltige, ewige Gericht gemeint. Sie ſind noch nicht unrettbar verloren. Anm. b. Das liegt nicht an der Größe ihrer Sünde, ſondern allein am Unglauben. Anm. c. Je größer die ihnen angebotene Gnade, die ſie verachten, deſto größer der Zorn Gottes.

Note a. By this the final, eternal judgment is not yet meant. They are not yet irretrievably lost. Note b. This is not due to the magnitude of their sin, but solely to their unbelief. Note c. The greater the grace offered to them, which they despise, the greater God's wrath.

2. Sie ſind ſchuldig am Leibe Chriſti. Gott hat das Mahl gar nicht für ſie eingeſetzt, dennoch vergreifen ſie ſich daran.

2. They are guilty of the body of Christ. God did not institute the meal for them at all, and yet they lay hands on it.

3. —

3. Sie unterſcheiden Chriſti Leib nicht von einer gewöhnlichen Mahlzeit. d. Allerlei leibliche Strafe folgt: 1. Cor. 11, 30: So viel Schwache und Kranke. § 57c. Anm. a. Darum ſind offenbare Unchriſten abzuweiſen. Anm. b. Hat jedoch jemand in früheren Jahren das Abendmahl unwürdig genoſſen, ſo ſoll er nicht verzagen. Der erſte würdige Genuß macht allen früheren unwürdi⸗ gen Genuß gut. Die Kraft. 54. Die Kraft liegt a. Nicht im Eſſen und Trinken. b. Allein im Wort. Anm. a. Das Wort muß zu den Elementen hinzukom⸗ men, ſonſt iſt es kein Sakrament. S. Conſecration. Anm. b. Das Wort iſt das Hauptſtück im Sakrament. Anm. c. Auch den Nutzen erlangt man nicht durch das äußerliche Empfangen des Leibes und Blutes Chriſti — dann müßten alle Communikanten Vergebung erlangen — ſondern allein durchs Wort.

3. They do not distinguish Christ's body from an ordinary meal. d. All kinds of bodily punishment follow: 1 Cor. 11:30: So many are weak and sick. § 57c. Note a. Therefore manifest non-Christians are to be turned away. Note b. But if someone in earlier years received the Lord's Supper unworthily, he should not despair. The first worthy reception makes good for all earlier unworthy reception. The Power. 54. The power lies a. Not in the eating and drinking. b. In the Word alone. Note a. The Word must be added to the elements, otherwise it is no sacrament. See Consecration. Note b. The Word is the chief part of the sacrament. Note c. Nor is the benefit obtained through the outward receiving of the body and blood of Christ — otherwise all communicants would have to obtain forgiveness — but through the Word alone.

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.
