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.

1. Desires in and of themselves are neither good nor evil; they only become good or evil depending on whether they are directed toward what is good or what is evil.

2. Die guten Begierden ſind a. natürliche Begierden, da der Menſch begehrt, was Gott ihm zugedacht hat. Luk. 16, 21: Lazarus begehrte ſich zu ſättigen. Der Kranke begehrt Geſund⸗— heit, der Arme Notdurft und Nahrung des Leibes, der Traurige einen fröhlichen Tag. Gott hat die Welt für uns gemacht. Freue dich, Jüngling. Um die Erfüllung ſolcher Begierden dürfen wir Gott bitten; b. heilige Begierden. Luk. 19, 3. Zachäus begehrte Chriſtum zu ſehen. Matth. 13. 17: Viele haben begehrt, zu ſehen, was ihr ſeht. Pſ. 143, 8: Mich ver— langt nach dir. Pf. 84, 3. David ſehnt ſich nach den Vorhöfen des Herrn. Anm. a. Vor dem Sündenfall waren der Menſchen Begierden wie klares Quellwaſſer. Anm. b. Einen Beruf annehmen zu wollen, wo man Gott und dem Nächſten mehr dienen kann, iſt nicht wider das Wort: Laß dich nicht gelüſten.

2. The good desires are a. natural desires, in that a person desires what God has intended for him. Luke 16:21: Lazarus desired to be filled. The sick person desires health, the poor person the necessities and nourishment of the body, the sorrowful person a joyful day. God made the world for us. Rejoice, young man. We may ask God for the fulfillment of such desires; b. holy desires. Luke 19:3: Zacchaeus desired to see Christ. Matt. 13:17: Many have desired to see the things which ye see. Ps. 143:8: My soul longeth after thee. Ps. 84:3: David longs for the courts of the Lord. Note a. Before the fall into sin, people's desires were like clear spring water. Note b. To wish to take up a calling in which one can better serve God and one's neighbor is not contrary to the word: Thou shalt not covet.

3. Die böſen Begierden ſind ſolche, da der Menſch das zu tun begehrt, was Gott verboten hat in ſeinem Wort. Anm. a. Nach dem Sündenfall iſt das Dichten und Trachten des unbekehrten Herzens nur böſe immerdar. 1 Moſ. 6, 5. — Das haben auch einzelne ehrbare Hei— den erkannt. ö Anm. b. Die böſen Begierden des Menſchen ſind oft ſo ſtark, daß ſie dem Willen des Menſchen nicht ge— ghorchen. Anm. c. Daß auch die böſen Begierden des Herzens vor Gott ſchon verdammliche Sünde ſei, erkennt der Menſch nicht von Natur. „Ich wußte nichts von der Luſt.“

3. Evil desires are such as when a person desires to do what God has forbidden in his Word. Note a. After the fall into sin, every imagination of the thoughts of the unconverted heart is only evil continually. Gen. 6:5. — Even individual honorable heathen have recognized this. Note b. The evil desires of man are often so strong that they do not obey man's own will. Note c. That even the evil desires of the heart are already damnable sin before God is something man does not recognize by nature. "I had not known lust."

4. Zu den böſen Begierden gehört auch das Begehren deſſen, was woti uſerin Nächſten zugedacht hat: ſein Hab und Gut, Weib u. ſ. w. 6., 7., 9. und 10. Gebot. Dahin. gehört a. alle Habſucht. Selbſtſucht, die nur auf das eigene Wohl bedacht iſt und auf das des Nächſten keine Rückſicht nimmt. Da bleibt für den Nächſten nichts übrig. Anm. Noch ſchlimmer iſt es, wenn man ſeinen eigenen Nutzen ſucht mit des Nächſten Schaden. Monovpole. Truſt; b. aller Neid. Mißgunſt, Schadenfreude, da man an— fängt zu murren, wenn andere mehr bekommen. Die Arbeiter im Weinberg. Der Bruder des verlorenen Sohnes. Anm. Dadurch verbittert man ſich ſelbſt das Leben. verdirbt ſich alle Freuden und zerſtört ſein eigenes Glück.

4. Among the evil desires also belongs the desiring of what God has intended for our neighbor: his property and goods, his wife, and so on — the Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Commandments. To this belong a. all covetousness, selfishness that is concerned only for its own well-being and takes no regard for the neighbor's. In that case nothing is left over for the neighbor. Note. It is even worse when one seeks one's own advantage at the neighbor's expense — monopolies, trusts; b. all envy, ill-will, and malicious joy at another's misfortune, when one begins to grumble because others receive more. The laborers in the vineyard. The brother of the prodigal son. Note. By this one embitters one's own life, spoils all joy, and destroys one's own happiness.

5. Evil desires must be curbed. Gen. 4:7: do not let it have its way. Exod. 20:17: Thou shalt not covet. — The means for this are prayer and work; see Work. Note. One cannot prevent birds from flying over one's head, but one can prevent them from nesting there.

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.
