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.

4,478 entries under 828 headwords, carrying 129,203 citations and 2,331 fragments too damaged to read · built 2026-09-16. uncorrected OCR

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.

Omnipotence. Essays. Neb. 88, 39—44. Baier 1, 42. 43. Luth. 52, 22. 205. Walth. Ev. 366. Walth. L. L. 261. 262. 468—472. Schmidt 1, 137. Outline. God's omnipotence, § 1. How it manifests itself, § 2. Distinctions, § 3. Application, § 4. 1. God is omnipotent. Gen. 17:1: God Almighty. Ps. 115:3: He does whatsoever he pleases. Luke 1:37: With God nothing shall be impossible. 2 Cor. 6:18. Rev. 4:8. His power is altogether without measure. Hymn 1:1. Note a. Christ is omnipotent. Matt. 28:18: All power is given unto me. Miracles. Resurrection. Note b. The Holy Spirit is omnipotent. Isa. 11:2: The Spirit of might. 1 Cor. 12:11: All these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit. Note c. This is why God bears names such as: Power, Strength, Stronghold, Rock. Note d. In him there is not merely the possibility or capacity to do everything; he actually works all things according to his power. He who by his great power works, does, and creates all things. Hymn 184:1. Note e. God's omnipotence is closely connected 1. With his omniscience, which is no idle looking-on. ‘As his omniscience ordains.’ Hymn 382:3. 2. With his omnipresence. He fills all things, so that he bears and moves all things. Note f. All objections against God's omnipotence — that he cannot lie, steal, cease to exist, make what has happened not to have happened — are sophistical and unreasonable. Antithesis. The Reformed: God cannot, even with his omnipotence, bring it about that a true human body, without prejudice to its nature, be in many places. 2. God's omnipotence manifests itself a. In the kingdom of power: 1. In the work of creation. Rom. 1:19, 20: His power and Godhead are perceived from creation. Rev. 4:11: ‘Almighty Creator.’ Note. Also in the creation of each individual human being. Job 33:4: The Spirit of God has made me; 2. In works of wonder. Sarah, Gen. 18:14. The raising of the dead; 3. In preservation. He upholds all things. Acts 17:28: In him we live, and move, and have our being; 4. In the governance of men. Ps. 33:15: he fashions their hearts alike; 5. In world and church history. The enemies are struck down, but his people he leads through all dangers to their goal; 6. One day in the destruction of the world. Just as much power is needed to turn the world into nothing as to create it out of nothing; 7. In the damnation of the ungodly. 2 Thess. 1:9: to suffer punishment from his glorious power. — Here it often seems as though God could not punish the wicked; b. In the kingdom of grace. 1. In the birth and resurrection of the Redeemer. Rom. 1:4: powerfully declared to be the Son of God, 2. In the planting and preservation of the Christian church. Eph. 1:22: the head of the congregation, 3. In the conversion of the sinner. Jer. 20:7: You were too strong for me. Eph. 1:19: We believe according to the working of his mighty power, 4. In the preservation of faith. 1 Pet. 1:5

5. in der Heiligung

5. in der Heiligung. Eph. 3, 16. 20, 6. dereinſt in der Auferſtehung und Verklärung der Gläubigen. Phil. 3, 21 3. Zu unterſcheiden iſt Gottes geordnͤte Macht (durch Mittel) und ſeine abſolute Macht (ohne Mittel). Die erſtere iſt widerſtehlich, die letztere nicht. Anm. a. Gott erhält den Menſchen durch Speiſe und Trank, was ein ebenſo großes Wunder iſt als die Erhaltung ohne Speiſe. 2 Moſ. 34, 28. Anm. b. Gott iſt an dieſe Mittel oder Naturgeſetze nicht gebunden. Was dem Lauf der Natur zuwider, iſt ihm nicht ſchwerer als was ihm gemäß. Anm. c. Auch Glaube und Wiedergeburt wirkt Gott durch Mittel. Doch hat er daran uns, nicht ſich ge⸗ bunden. 4. Anwendung. Gottes Allmacht gereicht uns a. zum Troſt. Gott kann uns beſchützen, helfen in 16, Not, Gebete erhören, ſeine Verheißung erfüllen. Seele, was verzagſt du doch? 2 Moſ. 15. 2. Pſ. 18. 2. 3.

5. In sanctification. Eph. 3:16, 20. 6. One day in the resurrection and transfiguration of believers. Phil. 3:21. 3. A distinction is to be made between God's ordered power (through means) and his absolute power (without means). The former can be resisted, the latter cannot. Note a. God sustains man through food and drink, which is just as great a miracle as sustaining him without food. Exod. 34:28. Note b. God is not bound to these means, or laws of nature. What is contrary to the course of nature is no harder for him than what conforms to it. Note c. Faith and regeneration too God works through means. Yet in this he has bound us, not himself. 4. Application. God's omnipotence serves us a. For comfort. God can protect us, help us in need, hear our prayers, fulfill his promise. Soul, why are you downcast? Exod. 15:2. Ps. 18:2, 3. Hymn 341:4. b. For warning, that we in no way resist his power. Homiletics. God's omnipotence can be treated as part of a sermon on the 2nd Sunday after Epiphany (the wedding), Laetare, and the 7th Sunday after Trinity (the feeding), the 16th and 24th Sundays after Trinity (raisings from the dead), the 1st Sunday in Advent (an almighty King who directs the heart of the owner of the donkey).

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.
