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.

wohl ſehr arm, haben ſie doch reichlich gegeben. 2 Kor. Anm. b. Unſere Gaben ſollen wirklich ein Opfer ſein. Eine rechte Gabe iſt nicht das, was abfällt für Chri⸗ ſtum — nur keine Abfälle für Chriſtum! Luth. 63, 168. — ſondern was einem teuer und wert iſt und man doch hergibt, weil die Liebe dazu dringt. Anm. c. Nur nicht ſo viel Witwenſcherflein, die es in Wahrheit nicht ſind! Anm. d. Wir ſollen uns hüten 1. vor Kargheit. Karge Opfer gereichen nicht zu Gottes Lob und haben ihren Grund in Mangel an Liebe. Andere müſſen dann mehr geben, die es viel⸗ leicht weniger können als wir. Wer da kärglich ſäet u. ſ. w. 2 Kor. 9, 6, 2. vor Geiz. ſ. Geiz. Anm. e. Viele ſparen auf Koſten des Reiches Gottes. Die chriſtliche Sparſanrkeit gibt erſt und dann legt ſie zurück. Anm. f. In ſeinem Herzen ſoll jeder Chriſt ein Kom⸗muniſt ſein, bereit, wenn nötig, auch den letzten Biſſen Brot mit ſeinen Brüdern zu teilen. Anm. g. Auch in ſchlechten Zeiten ſollen wir dem Reiche Gottes die Gaben nicht entziehen. — Geſchichte: Luth. 62, 177. Anm. h. Manche denken, wenn ſie in beſſern Verhältniſſen ſind, wollen ſie anfangen zu geben. — Die Zeit wird wohl nie kommen; d. nach Vermögen. 2 Kor. 8, 12: nach dem er. hat.

though very poor, gave abundantly. 2 Cor. 8:2. Note b. Our gifts should really be a sacrifice. A true gift is not what falls off as leftovers for Christ — no leftovers for Christ! Luth. 63, 168. — but what is dear and precious to one, and yet is given up, because love compels it. Note c. Let there not be so many "widow's mites" that are not really such! Note d. We should guard 1. against stinginess. Stingy offerings do not redound to God's praise and have their root in a lack of love. Others must then give more, who perhaps can afford it less than we. He which soweth sparingly, etc. 2 Cor. 9:6, 2. against covetousness. See Covetousness. Note e. Many save at the expense of the kingdom of God. Christian thrift gives first, and only then puts by. Note f. In his heart every Christian should be a communist, ready, if necessary, to share even the last bite of bread with his brothers. Note g. Even in hard times we should not withhold our gifts from the kingdom of God. — Story: Luth. 62, 177. Note h. Some think that once they are in better circumstances, they will begin to give. — That time will probably never come; d. according to one's means. 2 Cor. 8:12: according to that a man hath. We should give as much as we can. The rich should give much. Tob. 4:9: If thou hast abundance, give alms accordingly, etc. Deut. 16:17: every man according to the gift of his hand. Note a. God has distributed earthly goods differently. Note b. The richer one becomes, the harder giving becomes. Story: W. 98, 58. Mich. 92, 36. Note c. When those who can give do not give, they also make others reluctant and slow to give. Note d. To be so poor that one can hardly give anything anymore is, for a true Christian, a heavy cross. Note e. How much one should give, the apostle leaves to each individual's own judgment. 1 Cor. 16:2: as he may prosper. Note f. In the Old Testament, God had made definite provisions. Deut. 16:16: they shall not appear before the Lord empty. Lev. 27:30: all the tithe of the land is the Lord's. All in all, about a third of one's income went to this. Mich. 92, 55. That was a heavy yoke. Mich. 89, 38. The ceremonial law has now come to an end. No one may impose such a command. Süd. 1903, 78-79. Yet we may

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.
