Whereas research on the history of the Lutheran Church in North America during the decades before and after the founding of the United States of America has so far concentrated on the journals and correspondence of Heinrich Melchior Mühlenberg (1711-1787), the present project aims to transcribe and edit all existing letters and journals of Heinrich Melchior Mühlenberg's pastoral colleagues (i.e., of those Lutheran pastors who were sent from Halle, Germany, to Pennsylvania between 1745 and 1786). This substantial expansion of the documentary basis will lead to fundamentally new insights into the spread and development of Lutheran congregations in North America, into the role and significance of these congregations for German-speaking immigrants, into the place of the Lutheran Church with the multi-confessional mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania and neighboring colonies or states), into the history of Pietism in the Atlantic world, and into the mutual perceptions of German Protestantism in the Old World and the New. This project has to main goals. The first is a critical edition of hitherto unpublished and little-studied correspondences and journals of Lutheran pastors in the archives of the Francke Foundations in Halle and in the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (USA). Secondly, the relations between the pastors whom the Glauchasche Anstalten, founded by August Hermann Francke (1663-1727), sent to colonies in North America and the United States and German-speaking settlers, as well as the development of Lutheran congregations in the mid-Atlantic region will be researched on the basis of these newly edited sources. The renewal of application aims make sure that the prospective eight volumes of the edition (two volumes of journals, five volumes of letters, one index volume) can be made ready for printing and be published. After completion of the two volumes of journals and one volume of letters in the first period of the project, the extension is to be used for getting the remaining four volumes of letters and the index volume finished.

尽管在美国成立之前和之后的几十年中，对北美路德教会历史的研究迄今已集中在海因里希·梅尔基奥尔·穆尔基尔·穆伦贝格（HeinrichMelchiorMühlenberg）的期刊和信件上在1745年至1786年之间，从德国哈雷（Halle）派往宾夕法尼亚州的路德教会牧师）。文献基础的这种实质扩展将导致对北美路德教会会众的传播和发展的新见解，成为这些会众对德语移民的作用和意义，成为路德教会与多方事务中的中国大西洋地区（宾夕法尼亚州或邻国）的历史，成为派恩氏群岛和彼得的历史，成为派的历史，成为派的历史，成为了派的历史。在旧世界和新的新世界对德国新教的相互看法。该项目必须实现主要目标。第一个是迄今未出版和研究鲜明的信件的关键版本，以及路德教会牧师的期刊在哈雷（Halle）的弗朗克基金会（Francke基金会）以及美国费城（美国）的路德教会神学院的档案中。其次，由奥古斯特·赫尔曼·弗朗克（August Hermann Francke，1663 - 1727年）创立的牧师之间的关系，送往北美和美国的殖民地和讲德语的定居者，以及中型大西洋地区的卢特尔群落的发展，将根据这些新的宣传来进行研究。申请的续订目的确保该版本的前瞻性八卷（两册期刊，五卷字母，一个索引卷）可以准备好打印并发表。在项目的第一阶段完成两卷期刊和一卷字母后，该扩展名将用于获取剩余的四卷字母和索引卷完成。
