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.

kein Hund dagegen gemuckt, bloß der Menſch: c. ſind keine Geſetze, wie die Wiſſenſchaft aufſtellt, die alle Jahre verbeſſert und korrigiert werden. Wehe uns, wenn die Sterne hätten umſatteln müſſen von dem ptolemäiſchen zum kopernikaniſchen Syſtem, wenn nach Darwin alle Tiere ſich zu Menſchen entwickelten! d. können von Menſchen nie vollkommen erforſcht werden. ö Anm. a. Wenn nur ein Naturgeſetz geändert würde, z. B. der Kreislauf des Waſſers, ein wie ganz anderes Ausſehen würde die Welt gewinnen! Anm. b. Gott iſt ein Gott der Ordnung, der gern von ihm ſelbſt geordnete Wege geht. Anm. c. Über potentia ordinata und absoluta ſ. Allmacht. § 3. Anm. d. Gott iſtennicht an dieſe Geſetze gebunden. Der ſie gegeben, kann ſie aufheben. Gott kann Ausnahmen machen, Wunder tun. Beiſpiele: Die neunzigjährige Sarah gebiert, eine Jungfrau wird ſchwanger, das Waſſer im roten Meer ſteht, das Eiſen ſchwimmt, die Sonne ſteht ſtill, es regnet drei Jahre und ſechs Monate nicht, die drei Männer im Feuerofen brennen nicht, die Kleider Iſraels zerriſſen nicht, die Sodo: miter konnten die Tür nicht finden. Anm. e. Auch wir Chriſten tun oft, als wäre Gott an dieſe Geſetze gebunden, wenn z. B. das Brot alle iſt, der Arzt den Kranken aufgibt u. ſ. w. Einwand. Zu ſagen: Gott hindere manchmal den Lauf der Natur ſei entwürdigend für Gott und heiße: Gott ſähe ſelbſt ein, daß ſeine Geſetze nicht gut ſeien. Spinoza.

not a dog has grumbled against them; only man. c. are not laws such as science sets up, which are improved and corrected every year. Woe to us, had the stars had to switch over from the Ptolemaic to the Copernican system, had all animals, according to Darwin, evolved into men! d. can never be fully investigated by man. Note a. If only a single law of nature were changed, for example the water cycle, how entirely different the world would look! Note b. God is a God of order, who likes to follow paths ordained by himself. Note c. On potentia ordinata and potentia absoluta, see Omnipotence § 3. Note d. God is not bound by these laws. He who gave them can suspend them. God can make exceptions, work miracles. Examples: ninety-year-old Sarah bears a child, a virgin becomes pregnant, the water of the Red Sea stands still, iron floats, the sun stands still, it does not rain for three years and six months, the three men in the fiery furnace do not burn, the garments of Israel did not wear out, the Sodomites could not find the door. Note e. We Christians too often act as though God were bound by these laws, for example when the bread is all gone, when the doctor gives up on the sick, and so on. Objection. To say that God sometimes hinders the course of nature is degrading to God and amounts to saying that God himself recognizes that his laws are not good. Spinoza.

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.
