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.

Anm. b. Es ſind viele gute Zwecke, für die wir ſam⸗ meln, aber ſie dienen alle mittelbar oder unmittelbar dem einen großen Zweck: Seelen erretten. Auf dies Ziel müſſen alle kirchlichen Zwecke hinzielen. Anm. c. Die Sache, für die wir ſamnieln, muß der Gemeinde auch recht warm und klar vorgelegt werden, daß ſie genau weiß, wie es ſich damit verhält. — Wir müſſen die Gemeinden über die Bedürfniſſe des Reiches Gottes unterrichten.

Note b. There are many good purposes for which we collect, but they all serve, mediately or immediately, the one great purpose: saving souls. All church purposes must aim at this goal. Note c. The cause for which we are collecting must also be presented to the congregation warmly and clearly, so that it knows exactly how matters stand. — We must instruct our congregations about the needs of the kingdom of God.

4. Wie ſoll man geben? Wir ſollen geben a. mit Luſt. Röm. 12, 8: ſo tue ers mit Luſt. 1 Tim. 6, 18: gerne geben. Pſ. 110, 3: williglich opfern. 2 Kor. 9, 7: nicht mit Unwillen oder aus Zwang. Anm. a. Einen fröhlichen Geber hat Gott lieb. — Geſchichten: Luth. 60, 312. 52, 168. 41, 13. Anm. b. Gibſt du deinen Gemeindebeitrag mit Luſt? Anm. c. Der Chriſt, inſofern er Chriſt iſt, iſt immer willig zu geben. Das alte Fleiſch aber iſt immer un⸗— luſtig, und zeigt ſeine ſtörrige Art, wenn es ans Opfern geht. Anm. d. Der falſche Chriſt denkt wohl: Will ich ein Chriſt ſein, ſo m uß ich in den ſauern Apfel beißen; b. freiwillig. 2 Kor. 8, 4. 10—12: ſo einer willig iſt. Röm. 15, 27: ſie habens willig getan. 1 Chron. 30, 5: Wer iſt nun freiwillig u. ſ. w. 1 Kor. 16. 2: was ihn gut dünkt. 2 Kor. 9, 7: nicht aus Zwang. 8, 8: nicht ſage ich, daß ich etwas gebiete. Anm. a. Die Gaben ſollen nicht abgezwungen und ge— drungen ſein, nicht herausgepreßt, wie der Saft aus der Traube. — Geſetzesfurcht, Angſt vor Gemeinde. — Furcht iſt nicht in der Liebe. Anm. b. Darum ſoll 1. niemand in Bezug auf das Geben Vorſchrif— ten machen. Niemand ſoll gebieten: du mußt einen Cent geben, 2. die Gemeinde die Gemeindelaſten nicht geſetz— lich auf die Zahl der Kommunizierenden verteilen. Die Gemeinde kann nicht feſtſetzen, wie viel jeder geben ſoll. — Auch wäre es grundverkehrt, eine Ordnung zu treffen: Wer nicht bezahlt, hört auf, Gemeindeglied zu ſein. Luth. 56, 153, 3. die Synode keine Steuern auflegen. Alle Kollekten ſollen freiwillig ſein. Die Synode iſt nur beratend. — Dagegen die Buffaloſynode Can. 79, 26. Anm. c. Alle Kirchen und Lehranſtalten unſerer Sy⸗- node ſind von freiwilligen Gaben erbaut. Anm. d. Die chriſtliche Kirche läßt das irdiſche Gut Eigentum der einzelnen bleiben; c. reichlichh. Wir ſollen freigebig ſein. Seine Hand ſollen wir füllen. 1 Chron. 30, 5. Gott hat auch über uns ſeinen Segen in Fülle ausgeſchüttet. Anm. a. Beiſpiele: die Witwe. Von ihrer Armut alle ihre Nahrung. Luk. 21, 4. Die Korinther. Wie⸗

4. How should one give? We should give a. gladly. Rom. 12:8: let him do it with simplicity. 1 Tim. 6:18: ready to distribute, willing to communicate. Ps. 110:3: thy people shall be willing. 2 Cor. 9:7: not grudgingly, or of necessity. Note a. God loveth a cheerful giver. — Stories: Luth. 60, 312. 52, 168. 41, 13. Note b. Do you give your congregational contribution gladly? Note c. The Christian, insofar as he is a Christian, is always willing to give. But the old flesh is always reluctant, and shows its stubborn nature when it comes to giving. Note d. The false Christian thinks: If I am to be a Christian, I must bite the sour apple; b. voluntarily. 2 Cor. 8:4, 10-12: if there be first a willing mind. Rom. 15:27: it hath pleased them. 1 Chron. 29:5: who then is willing, etc. 1 Cor. 16:2: as God hath prospered him. 2 Cor. 9:7: not of necessity. 8:8: I speak not by commandment. Note a. The gifts should not be forced and compelled, not squeezed out, like juice from the grape. — Fear of the law, fear of the congregation. — There is no fear in love. Note b. Therefore 1. no one should lay down rules about giving. No one should command: You must give a cent, 2. the congregation should not legally distribute the congregation's burdens according to the number of communicants. The congregation cannot fix how much each should give. — It would also be utterly perverse to make a rule: Whoever does not pay ceases to be a member. Luth. 56, 153, 3. the synod should levy no taxes. All collections should be voluntary. The synod is only advisory. — By contrast, the Buffalo Synod, Can. 79, 26. Note c. All the churches and educational institutions of our synod have been built from voluntary gifts. Note d. The Christian Church leaves earthly goods the property of the individual; c. abundantly. We should be generous. We should fill our hand. 1 Chron. 29:5. God too has poured out his blessing upon us in abundance. Note a. Examples: the widow. Of her poverty, all her living. Luke 21:4. The Corinthians,

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.
