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.

1: grüßt ihn nicht. Tit. 3. 10: einen ketzeriſchen Men⸗ then meide. Tim. 6, 3—5. Tue dich von ſolchen. Ammn. c. Handelt es ſich um Nichtfundamentalleh⸗ en, ſo kann der Bann nicht vollzogen werden, es ſei enn, daß der Irrende dem Worte Gottes bewußt, hart⸗ äckig und halsſtarrig widerſpricht und ſo mit ſeinem zrrtum das Glaubensfundament umſtößt. Man muß ie völlige Gewißheit haben, daß der zu Bannende ein Inchriſt ſei. Anm. d. Jemand, der die Richtigkeit der Wucherlehre ugegeben, aber ſich rechtfertigen wollte, es ſei ſo der Belt Lauf, man könne nicht nach Gottes Wort leben, vurde in den Bann getan. Anm. e. Aufhebung der Abendmahlsgemeinſchaft mit ßalichgläubigen iſt nicht Bann, ſondern nur ein Zeug— is gegen falſche Lehre. Ann. f. Ehe man das Bannverfahren gegen jemand unleitet, muß man gewiß ſein, daß die Sünde eine ſolche ſſt. um deren willen der Betreffende auch in den Bann getan werden kann, damit man hernach nicht wieder cückwärts gehen muß. Man ſoll das Bonnverfahren lieber nicht einleiten, wenn man es nicht bis zum Letz⸗ ten hinausführen kann. 12. Sich ſelbſt in den Bann tun. Mancher Sünder läuft nach der zweiten Stufe der Ermahnung davon und erſcheint trotz aller Einladung nicht vor der Ge⸗ meinde. Ein ſolcher ſchließt ſich damit ſelbſt von der Gemeinde aus. Anm. a. Solche verſündigen ſich 1. gegen Gott, der die Stufen der Ermahnung geordnet; 2. gegen ſich ſelbſt. — Indem man alle Ermah⸗ nung abſchneidet, tut man ſich ſelbſt den größten Schaden; 3. gegen die Gemeinde. Dadurch wird das Ur⸗ teil gefällt: die Gemeinde handele leichtfertig und unchriſtlich, da man ja ſonſt keine Urſache hätte, ſich loszuſagen. Sie beweiſen damit, daß ſie die Gemeinde nicht hören wollen. Anm. b. In ſolchen Fällen tun wir die Betreffenden nicht in den Bann, erklären aber, 1. daß ſie ſich ſelbſt ausgeſchloſſen haben, 2. daß wir ſie nicht mehr für unſere Brüder hal— ten können, ů 3. daß wir aber das Endurteil Gott überlaſſen, da wir nicht wiſſen, ob ſie ſich aus Schwachheit oder Bosheit abgeſondert haben. Was gehen uns die an, die draußen ſind. Anm. c. Der Ausdruck: „Er hat ſich ſelbſt in den Bann getan“ iſt nur da zu gebrauchen, wo es ſich um eine Totſünde handelt. Ein ſolcher liegt gerade ſo gut im Bann als wäre der Bann von der Gemeinde voll— zogen worden.

...11: greet him not. Titus 3:10: A man that is a heretic... reject. 1 Tim. 6:3—5: From such withdraw thyself. Note c. In the case of non-fundamental doctrines, the ban cannot be carried out, unless the one in error knowingly, obstinately, and stubbornly contradicts the Word of God, so that by his error he overthrows the foundation of the faith. One must have full certainty that the person to be banned is a non-Christian. Note d. Someone who admitted the correctness of the teaching against usury but wanted to justify himself, saying that this was simply the way of the world and that one could not live according to God's Word, was placed under the ban. Note e. The suspension of Communion fellowship with those of false faith is not a ban, but only a testimony against false doctrine. Note f. Before initiating the process of the ban against someone, one must be certain that the sin is of such a kind that the person concerned can also be placed under the ban for it, so that one does not afterward have to retreat. One should rather not initiate the process of the ban if one cannot carry it through to the end. 12. Placing oneself under the ban. Many a sinner runs away after the second stage of admonition and, despite every invitation, does not appear before the congregation. Such a person thereby excludes himself from the congregation. Note a. Such people sin 1. against God, who has ordained the stages of admonition; 2. against themselves. — By cutting off all admonition, one does oneself the greatest harm; 3. against the congregation. By this the judgment is rendered that the congregation acts frivolously and unchristianly, since otherwise one would have no reason to renounce it. They thereby prove that they do not want to hear the congregation. Note b. In such cases we do not place the persons concerned under the ban, but declare 1. that they have excluded themselves, 2. that we can no longer regard them as our brothers, 3. that we, however, leave the final judgment to God, since we do not know whether they have separated themselves out of weakness or malice. What have we to do with judging those outside? Note c. The expression "he has placed himself under the ban" is to be used only where a mortal sin is involved. Such a person lies under the ban just as fully as if the ban had been carried out by the congregation.

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.
