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.

1. **As long as there has been a believing people of God on earth, it has also been the custom to erect buildings for worship.** After altars were first erected, Gen. 2, 7 [sic], we already hear from Jacob: this stone shall become a house of God. Gen. 28, 22. The tabernacle. Solomon's temple. Schulb. 39, [illegible]. Note a. Christ preached in the most varied places — in the schools and on the streets, on the mountain and in the wilderness. Our missionaries to the heathen still do likewise today. Note b. On the place of worship in the time of the apostles and later during the persecutions of Christians, see Worship § 2. b. Note c. God is everywhere. He does not dwell in temples made by human hands, like the idols of the heathen. Note d. The place of worship is a matter indifferent [adiaphoron]. We have no command to build houses of God. Note e. Yet preaching in the open air and in unsuitable places has many unfortunate consequences. Note f. How many of our congregations have formerly had to hold their services in a sectarian church! — One's own hearth is worth gold. Note g. Already in the earliest times of Christianity the striving after churches asserted itself. Note h. A congregation cannot in the long run withhold itself without detriment from the acquisition of a house of God. As soon as its means allow, it should proceed with it. Judas's objection: what is the purpose of this waste? What could be done with that fine money! — Nature is our temple, [the objector says].

2. Die Beſchaffenheit einer Kirche. Anforderungen, die an eine Lirche geſtellt werden, ſind a. daß alle Verſammelten den Prediger ſehen und ſeine Worte hören können. Zu dem Zwecke empfiehlt ſich mehr eine amphitheatraliſche Form, daß alle um den * herumſitzen. Min. Syn. 1902, 59; daß ſie genug Raum bietet: c. daß ſie aute Ventilation bietet. Anm. a. Es iſt nicht unrecht und Verſchwendung, wenn man etwas auf Schmuck und Verſchönerung des Gottes— hauſes verwendet. Anm. b. Wir wären Toren, wenn wir gute Neuerun— gen nicht benutzen und am Alten feſthalten wollten. Anm. e.

2. **The character of a church [building].** Requirements to be placed on a church are a. that all those assembled can see the preacher and hear his words. For this purpose an amphitheater-like form is to be recommended, so that all sit around him. Min. Syn. 1902, 59; b. that it offer enough room; c. that it offer good ventilation. Note a. It is neither wrong nor wasteful to spend something on the adornment and beautification of the house of God. Note b. We would be fools if we refused to make use of good innovations and insisted on clinging to the old. Note c. The arrangement of the church should awaken devotion. — Yet the outward form and arrangement of the church is a matter of Christian liberty. Wis. 1907, 23. Note d. On the sects' “ideal modern church,” with kitchen, gymnasium, etc., see Theol. 2, 103–108. — On the architect, the contract, and changes after the building plan has been accepted, see Theol. 2, 108–112. On separate seating for men and women, see Luth. 22, 149. Note e. One should guard against 1. practicing excessive luxury in church building, 2. going beyond one's means. The congregation is not a corporation meant to incur debts, 3. giving offerings for church building from impure motives, ambition, etc., 4. falling into discord over the location or other matters connected with church building, as so easily happens. Note f. Ladies' societies can lend a hand in adorning the house of God.

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.
