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. The Apostles' Days are as follows: Thomas, December 21. James, July 25. John, December 27. Matthew, September 21. Matthias, February 24 (Ma. 13, 63.) Andrew, November 30. Philip and James, May 1. (Ma. 16, 145.) Peter and Paul, June 29. Simon and Jude, October 28. Paul's Conversion, January 25. (Ma. 20, 8.) 2. To celebrate the Apostles' Days is not forbidden; rather, since it happens to the honor of God, it is entirely in accordance with the will of God. Heb. 13, 7: Remember them which have the rule over you. Note a. Such a celebration 1. serves as a remembrance of the history and benefits that God showed us through these men; 2. incites to the imitation of their faith and godly life. Note b. The death-days of the martyrs were 1. celebrated in the early Christian church, in that people gathered at their graves, 2. observed generally in the Lutheran church in the 15th and 16th centuries as half-holidays. Note c. Later this observance fell more and more into disuse and today is still kept in only a few congregations, yet it should be reintroduced, if only for the sake of the glorious pericopes, even if moved to the nearest Sunday.

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.
