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.

intlicherweiſe bekehrt. 1. Im allerweiteſten Sinn: Außerliche Lebens- führungen, daß Gott z. B. einem Ungläubigen ein gläubiges Gemahl, gläubige Nachbarn gibt, die ihm Gottes Wort vorhalten, ihn äußerlich in die Kirche führen. Doch gehört dies eigentlich zum Wirken Gottes in der Natur. 2. Im gewöhnlichen Sinn: Die Wirkungen durchs Wort, die jeden unvermeidlich, ſelbſt mit⸗ ten im Sündenlauf. treffen. „Primi motus in⸗— evitabiles.“ Felix. Ap. 24. 25. Agrippa. Ap. 26, 28. — Gefühlseindrücke. Anm. a. Die zuvorkommende Gnade iſt nicht eine merliche, ſondern eine Wirkung von außen. Anm. b. Die „primi motus inevitabiles“ ſind geiſt— iche Bewegungen, weil ſie vom Geiſt hervorgerufen terden, aber ſie ſind noch nicht Regungen eines neuen ſiitlichen Lebens im Menſchen. Anm. c. Quenſtedts Ausführung ſ. Baier 3, 221. Anm. d. Zuvorkommende Gnade heißt ſie, beil ſie dem Willen des zu Bekehrenden zuvorkommt. Antith. Synergiſten. Durch Wirkung der vorlau— enden Gnade werde im Menſchen das „liberum arbi— nium“ wiederhergeſtellt, ſodaß der Menſch ſich nun ſelbſt elehten oder zur Bekehrung mitwirken könne.

1. In the very widest sense: outward circumstances of life, as when God gives an unbeliever a believing spouse, believing neighbors, who hold God's Word before him, who lead him outwardly into church. Yet this properly belongs to God's working in nature. 2. In the ordinary sense: the effects through the Word which meet everyone unavoidably, even in the midst of a sinful course of life. "Primi motus inevitabiles." Felix. Acts 24:25. Agrippa. Acts 26:28. -- Impressions of feeling. Note a. Prevenient grace is not an inward working, but a working from without. Note b. The "primi motus inevitabiles" are spiritual movements, because they are called forth by the Spirit, but they are not yet stirrings of a new moral life in man. Note c. For Quenstedt's exposition see Baier 3, 221. Note d. It is called prevenient grace because it comes before the will of the one to be converted. Antithesis. The Synergists. Through the working of prevenient grace the "liberum arbitrium" is said to be restored in man, so that man can now convert himself or cooperate toward conversion.

J. Gratia operans, die Gnade, durch die Gott den glauben wirkt, die bekehrende Gnade. Gratia cooperans, die mitwirkende Gnade, die mit der im Wiedergeborenen innewohnenden Kraft wirkt. 1. Gratia assistens, die von außen wirkende Gnade, nie vorbereitenden Wirkungen des Geiſtes. Mark. 21, 34 g. Gratia incipiens, welche die Anfänge des Glau— bens wirkt, „gratia perficiens“, welche die Beharrung des Glaubens wirkt. Auguſtin. Anm. a. Bei Chemnitz und Auguſtin iſt die „gratia praeveniens“ und „praeparans“ ſachlich identiſch mit der gratia operans.“ Anm. b. Verkehrt iſt es, wenn man ſolche, die ſchon die erſten Fünklein des Glaubens haben, aber noch nicht einen gewiſſen Grad der Zerknirſchtheit zeigen, als Er— * anſieht, die noch unter der vorlaufenden Gnade

4. Gratia operans, the grace by which God works faith, the converting grace. Gratia cooperans, the cooperating grace, which works together with the power dwelling in the regenerate. Gratia assistens, the grace working from without, the preparatory workings of the Spirit. Mark 2, 34. Gratia incipiens, which works the beginnings of faith; gratia perficiens, which works the perseverance of faith. Augustine. Note a. In Chemnitz and Augustine the "gratia praeveniens" and "praeparans" are essentially identical with the "gratia operans." Note b. It is wrong when one regards those who already have the first sparks of faith, but do not yet show a certain degree of contrition, as unconverted, still standing under prevenient grace.

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.
