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.

Tode nicht in Abendmahlsgliedſchaft mit uns ſtehen; dahin gehören a. alle Unchriſten, die in Unbußfertigkeit dahingefah— ren, alle Verächter des Wortes Gottes und der Satramente. Wer bei Lebzeit ſich nicht zur Kirche hält, ge— hört auch im Tode nicht hinein; b. in Todſünden plötzlich Dahingefahrene: c. Gebannte. Paſt. 308. Luth. 56, 167. 35, 1556. 28, 139; d. Trunkenbolde; e. Selbſtmörder. Luth. 40, 149. 56, 166. 60, 228. Anm. Ausgenommen ſind ſolche, die ihre Tat in unzurechnungszähigem Zuſtande getan haben: f. Falſchaläubige. Von ihnen wiſſen wir nicht. ob ſie geſtorben ſind auf ihren Irrtum, oder auf das Evange— lium, das noch unter ihnen iſt. Sie gehören unter die Seelſorge ihrer Kirche. Außerdem wäre es Verleugnung der Wahrheit, wenn wir ſolche, die keine Luthera— ner ſein wollten, lutheriſch begraben. Anm. Stirbt in einer Miſchehe der jalſchgläubige Teil, ſo ſoll der rechtgläubige Teil dem falſchgläubigen kein falſchgläubiges Begräbnis beſorgen. Er laſſe viel— mehr der Sache ihren Lauf und ſehe den falſchgläubigen Paſtor nicht als ſeinen Tröſter an; g. Logenbrüder. Warum wir ihnen die Gliedſchaft verweigern ſ. Loge. Auch darf ſich kein Paſtor dazu her— geben, etwa die Leichenrede zu halten und das Übrige der Loge zu überlaſſen. Er könnte dann ebenſowohl ſein Zeugnis gegen die Loge ganz aufheben. Anm. a. Gemeindeglieder erwarten oft, daß Paſtoren allerlei Leute begraben ſollen wie der Totengräber und nehmen Verweigerung des Begräbniſſes übel. Anm. b. Leider finden ſich noch immer Bauchpfaffen. die allerlei Volkuchriſtlich begraben. Wie wenig wird ihr Zeugnis Frucht ſchaffen! Anm. c. So wurden kirchlich begraben Ibſen, ein Feind des Chriſtentums, Prof. Virchow, ein Atheiſt. Anm. d. Der Grund, warum die Verwandten ſolcher Leute noch auf ein chriſtliches Begräbnis dringen, iſt EChre i vor Menſchen und der Aberglaube, wenn der Paſtor jemand beerdigt, ſei alles gut.

...death do not stand with us in fellowship of the Lord's Supper; to these belong a. all non-Christians who died impenitent, all despisers of the Word of God and the Sacraments. Whoever does not hold to the church in life does not belong in it in death either; b. those who died suddenly in mortal sin; c. the excommunicated. Past. 308. Luth. 56, 167. 35, 1556. 28, 139; d. drunkards; e. suicides. Luth. 40, 149. 56, 166. 60, 228. Note. Excepted are those who committed the act while not of sound mind; f. those of false belief. Of them we do not know whether they died holding to their error or holding to the Gospel that is still present among them. They belong under the pastoral care of their own church. Moreover, it would be a denial of the truth if we buried in the Lutheran manner those who did not wish to be Lutherans. Note. If, in a mixed marriage, the party of false belief dies, the orthodox party should not arrange a false-believing burial for the false-believing spouse. Rather, let the matter take its own course, and let him not regard the false-believing pastor as his own comforter; g. lodge brothers. For why we deny them membership, see Lodge. Nor may any pastor lend himself to, say, giving the funeral address while leaving the rest to the lodge. He might just as well thereby completely nullify his own testimony against the lodge. Note a. Congregation members often expect pastors to bury all sorts of people like a gravedigger, and take offense when burial is refused. Note b. Unfortunately there are still to be found belly-preachers who bury all sorts of people in an un-Christian manner. How little fruit their testimony will bear! Note c. Thus Ibsen, an enemy of Christianity, and Prof. Virchow, an atheist, were both given church burials. Note d. The reason why the relatives of such people still press for a Christian burial is honor before men, and the superstition that if the pastor buries someone, all is well.

8. The reasons why we must deny a Christian burial to non-Christians are these: a. burying non-Christians as though they were Christians is a practice contrary to Scripture. Note a. God himself has gone before us with a good example. Jer. 22:19: He shall be buried with the burial of an ass. 1 Kings 21:24: the dogs shall eat him. 1 Kings 14:13: he alone of Jeroboam's house shall come to the grave. Note b. The Christian church has acted accordingly. Examples from the sixteenth century. Luth. 40, 186. Konrad Becker of Güstrow chose rather to be removed from his office than to bury an openly un-Christian person.

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.
