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.

Afterreden

—

a. von Gott verboten. Jak. 4, 11. Afterredet nicht. 1 Pet. 2, 1. So leget nun von euch ab alles Afterreden. b. iſt ein recht teufliſches Laſter. Diabolus⸗-Verleumder. c. gehört zu den gewöhnlichſten Sünden ſelbſt unter Chriſten. d. iſt gegen die Nächſtenliebe. Matth. 7, 12. Was du nicht willſt, das man dir tu, das füg auch keinem andern zu. Wie gefällt es dir, wenn jemand hinter deinem Rücken Böſes von dir erzählt? e.H ein dreifacher Mord. Man ſchlägt den Nächſten mit der Zunge tot, macht ſich ſelbſt des ewigen Todes ſchuldig und ſucht den Dritten mitzureißen. f. hat ſchwere Folgen. Wie viel Unheil wird dadurch angerichtet: Des Nächſten guter Name geraubt, Mißtrauen, Feindſchaft geſäet. Anm. Und der Schaden kann nicht wieder gut gemacht werden. Das geſprochene Wort iſt wie vom Winde dahingetragener Unkrautſame, der bald hier, bald dort aufiwuchert. g. wird geſtraft. Sir. 28, 15. Ohrenbläſer und falſche Mäuler ſind verflucht.

a. Forbidden by God. James 4:11: Speak not evil of one another. 1 Pet. 2:1: Laying aside therefore all evil-speaking. b. Is a truly devilish vice. Diabolos — slanderer. c. Belongs among the most common sins even among Christians. d. Is against love of neighbor. Matt. 7:12: Whatever you would not have done to you, do not do to another. How would you like it if someone told evil about you behind your back? e. Is a threefold murder. One strikes one's neighbor dead with the tongue, makes oneself guilty of eternal death, and seeks to drag a third person down as well. f. Has grave consequences. What great harm is caused by it: the neighbor's good name robbed, mistrust and enmity sown. Note. And the damage cannot be undone. The spoken word is like weed-seed carried off by the wind, which springs up now here, now there. g. Is punished. Sir. 28:15: Talebearers and double-tongued liars are cursed.

4. —

4. Darum ſollen wir uns vor Afterreden hüten und des Nächſten Sünde ſo viel wie möglich zudecken. 1 Pet. 4. Anm. a. Auch Paſtoren ſollen nicht von ihren Amtsnachbarn, Vorgängern afterreden. Anm. b. Das Mittel dagegen iſt Gottes Wort. Daraus muß man Liebe und Demut lernen, die der eignen Sünde nie vergißt. Einwand a. Ich hobe es nicht bös gemeint. — O du Gleißner und falſcher Menſch! Hätteſt du es gut mit ihm gemeint, du hätteſt geſchwiegen. Einwand b. Aber es iſt doch wahr, was ich geſagt habe. — Warum erzählſt du nicht deine Bosheit, die ja auch wohr iſt? Warum ſagſt du es nicht ihm ſelbſt?

4. We should therefore guard against backbiting and cover our neighbor's sin as much as possible. 1 Pet. 4:8. Note a. Pastors too should not speak evil of their fellow ministers or predecessors. Note b. The remedy against it is God's Word. From it one must learn love and humility, which never forgets one's own sin. Objection a. I did not mean it maliciously. — O you hypocrite and false person! If you had meant well by him, you would have kept silent. Objection b. But what I said is true, after all. — Why don't you tell your own wickedness, which is also true? Why don't you say it to his face?

5. How to behave toward backbiters. One should a. Not listen, or even show delight in it. b. Reprove him, so that he blushes with shame. One should not set fire to one's neighbor's house oneself, but should also restrain those who want to do it. Note a. Pastors in particular should not listen to tale-bearing. Note b. Augustine had a plaque on his table: All backbiters are excluded from this table. Note c. Backbiters make us more careful in word and conduct.

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.
