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.

**Idolatry.** Idolatry is to be avoided because it a. is forbidden. Exod. 20, 4. 5: you shall not worship them. 23. 24. Deut. 5, 9. 6, 14. 11, 16. 12, 29. 30. Ps. 81, 9. 10. Jer. 35, 15; b. is a crime against God; c. is empty and vain. 2 Kings 17, 15. 16. 1 Chron. 17, 26 [sic]. 2 Chron. 13, 9. Isa. 41, 24. 45, 20. 44, 9. Jer. 5, 7. 1 Cor. 8, 4. 5: that an idol is nothing in the world. — Hence also mockery: Ps. 115, 4–8: mouths, and they speak not. Jer. 16, 20. Judg. 6, 31; d. is worship of the devil. What the heathen sacrifice to the idol, they sacrifice to the devil; e. is an offense against God. God is provoked to anger by it. Exod. 32, 10. 34, 14. Deut. 4, 23. 24. 6, 15. 1 Kings 11, 9. Ps. 106, 10 [sic]. Isa. 65, 3; f. is severely punished. Deut. 11, 16. 17. Josh. 24, 20. Judg. 2, 14. 3, 7. 8. 2 Kings 23, 27. Note a. Individual idols: a. The golden calf. This was the idolatry of the Jews — not that they thought the calf to be God, but that they abandoned the worship instituted by God and began worshiping elsewhere. W. 82, 32. 33. b. The two calves. 1 Kings 12, 28–33. Baal. 16, 31. Judg. 2, 11. 13. Dagon. 1 Sam. 5, 1. 2. Molech. Lev. 18, 21. Diana. Acts 19, 24. The image at Dan. Judg. 18, 13–31. c. The gods of the ancient Greeks and Romans, conceived not as spirit, but clothed with human and animal form. Can. 1901, 46. They are ascribed envy, Can. 1901, 15, and carnal union with beautiful maidens. Mich. 1904, 15. Note b. On how the heathen sometimes punish their idols, see Luth. 44, 158; on their sacrificing their children, see Luth. 57, 156. Note c. It is also idolatry when men who have done something great are deified. Acts 14[, 11–13].

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.
