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.

twelve legions (12 x 6,000), Heb. 12:22: an innumerable company of angels. Gen. 32:1, 2: God's host. — Mark 5:8, a legion of devils in one man. Note a. The angels also have names, for example Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Jeremiel, Sealtiel. Note b. The number of the angels is neither increased (they are sexless, Matt. 22:30) nor diminished (they are immortal), Luke 20:36. Antithesis: [scoffers hold that] angels are male and female. 5. Orders. Cherubim, Gen. 3:24. Seraphim, Isa. 6:2. Thrones, dominions, principalities, powers. Col. 1:16. Archangels. 1 Thess. 4:16. — The chief of the devils. Luke 11:15. The devil and his angels. Matt. 25:41. Note a. Gregory and others count nine orders. Note b. What sort of distinction exists between them, we do not know. 6. Nature. The angels are spirits and therefore invisible to men. Heb. 1:14: ministering spirits. Luke 24:39: a spirit has not flesh and bones. — Eph. 6:12: We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but — against evil spirits. Note a. Of what nature the angels are cannot be known from the light of nature. Note b. What a spirit is, we do not comprehend. Note c. One must also not ascribe to the angels fine, ethereal bodies, like wind, or the breath of man. Objection: 1 Cor. 15:40: There are celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies. — The celestial bodies are sun, moon, and stars. Delitzsch. Note d. The following distinction is to be observed: 1. between God and angel. God's Spirit is an uncreated, infinite Spirit; the angels are created and finite, and have a certain magnitude or extension. 2. between angel and man. The angel is complete without a body; man is not. Note e. Although the angels are spirits, they can nevertheless 1. appear to men. Gen. 18: Abraham. Gen. 19: Lot. Luke 1:11: Zacharias. Luke 1:26–28: Mary. Luke 2:9: the shepherds. Luke 24:4: the women at the tomb. Acts 1:10: the disciples at Christ's ascension. Of what kind these bodies were, we do not know; 2. eat. Gen. 18, though they did not digest in a human manner. Tobit 12:19: It seemed indeed as though I ate and drank with you; 3. speak. They speak not only with God, Rev. 7:11, 12, with one another: Isa. 6:3, one cried to another; Zech. 2:3, but also with men. They do this either by a sound formed in the air (Luke 1:13, 19, 28; 2:10, 21...

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.
