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.

Amt der Zcluſſel

Wenn Stein oder Holz mih abſolvieren Anm. e. könnte im Namen der chriſtlichen Kirche, wollte ich es Luther. annehmen. Die Kraft der Schlüſſel hängt nicht ab vom Anm. f. Glauben des Paſtors; dann wäre alle Gewißheit der Vergebung dahin. Weiß man, der Paſtor iſt ungläubig, ſo ſol! Anm. g. man ihm die Schlüſſelverwaltung nicht anvertrauen. Er wird ein ſchlechter Verwalter ſein; f. der Ortsgemeinde. Sag es der Gemeinde, d. der ſichtbaren Ortsgemeinde. Anm. a. Das gilt, auch wenn das Häuflein 1, noch ſo verachtet iſt; eitel Stallbuben, 2. noch ſo klein iſt, 2 oder 3. Die Größe der Gliederzahl kommt nicht in Betracht, da ein einziger Chriſt den ganzen Chriſtus hat. Anm. b. Eine Ortsgemeinde iſt eine ſolche, die Got⸗ tes Wort und Sakrament dem Weſen nach hat. Anm. c. Die apoſtoliſchen Gemeinden haben die Schlüſſel gebraucht. Anm. d. Die ſichtbare Ortsgemeinde, in welcher ſich auch Unchriſten finden, hat die Gewalt nur um der Gläubigen willen, die darin verborgen ſind. Anm. e. Die Unchriſten einer chriſtlichen Gemeinde können, obwohl ſie die Schlüſſel für ihre Perſon nicht haben, dieſelben doch im Namen der Chriſten und al— deren Werkzeuge und Diener verwalten. Anm. f. Wären die anweſenden Glieder in einer Ge meindeverſammlung zufällig alle Unchriſten und die eigentliche Gemeinde der Gläubigen gerade abweſend, io wäre auch da Chriſti Kirche vertreten. Anm. g. Wäre die Verwaltung der Schlüſſel blof der un ſichtbaren Kirche gegeben, dann könnte man die Schlüſſel gar nicht brauchen. Anm. h. Welche Freundlichkeit Chriſti, daß die Chri ſten nicht deshalb ſeiner Güter beraubt werden, weil ſich Gottloſe an die Kirche hängen!

Note e. "If a stone or a piece of wood could absolve me in the name of the Christian church, I would accept it." - Luther. Note f. The power of the keys does not depend on the faith of the pastor; otherwise all certainty of forgiveness would be gone. Note g. If one knows that the pastor is unbelieving, one should not entrust him with the administration of the keys. He will be a poor steward; f. to the local congregation. "Tell it unto the church," that is, to the visible local congregation. Note a. This holds true even if the little flock 1. is however despised - mere stable-boys, 2. is however small, two or three. The size of the membership is not in question, since a single Christian has the whole of Christ. Note b. A local congregation is one that has God's word and sacrament in essence. Note c. The apostolic congregations made use of the keys. Note d. The visible local congregation, in which non-Christians are also found, has this power only for the sake of the believers who are hidden within it. Note e. The non-Christians of a Christian congregation, although they do not have the keys for their own person, can nevertheless administer them in the name of the Christians and as their instruments and servants. Note f. If the members present at a congregational meeting happened all to be non-Christians, and the actual congregation of believers were just then absent, Christ's church would still be represented there. Note g. If the administration of the keys were given only to the invisible church, then the keys could not be used at all. Note h. What kindness of Christ, that Christians are not thereby robbed of his goods because ungodly people attach themselves to the church!

8. Chriſtus hat den Chriſten nicht bloß den Beſitz

8. Chriſtus hat den Chriſten nicht bloß den Beſitz. ſon dern auch den Gebrauch übergeben. Was wäre das für eine Gewalt, die man nicht brauchen dürfte! Anm. a. Jeder Chriſt ſoll die Schlüſſel brauchen. „Er ſei dir ein Heide und Zöllner.“ Anm. b. Alle Chriſten untereinander ſollen ſich be— lehren, ermahnen, ſtrafen, tröſten. . Anm. c. Es ſteht nicht in ihrem Belieben, ob ſie dieſe Gewalt brauchen wollen oder nicht, ob ſie z. B. das. Predigtamt aufrichten wollen oder nicht, ſie ſind daſn verpflichtet. Der Chriſt verſündigt ſich. wenn er ehvas fahren läßt, was ihm gegeben. em. d. Die Schlüſſel werden verwaltet nur durch Wort.

8. Christ has given Christians not merely the possession but also the use. What kind of power would it be that one might not use! Note a. Every Christian should make use of the keys. "Let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican." Note b. All Christians together should instruct, admonish, rebuke, and comfort one another. Note c. It is not left to their discretion whether they want to use this power or not - whether, for example, they want to establish the preaching office or not; they are obligated to do so. The Christian sins if he lets slip something that has been given to him. Note d. The keys are administered only through the Word.

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.
