The volumes 5, 6 and 7 to be published contain letters and other official documents from a total of 22 different pastors: 93 letters from the years 17 44-1807 (volume 5), 105 letters also from the years 1744-1807 (volume 6) and 194 letters from the years 1743-1825 (volume 7). Excerpts from some of these documents appeared, edited, in contemporary missionary and edification literature. However, most of the source material has never been published. A completely annotated and annotated edition with detailed indexes and an almost diplomatically faithful reproduction does not yet exist. The three volumes are of great value for research in several respects:1. In the documents the difficult working conditions for the pastors, which resulted from the large settlement structure of the municipalities, become clear. These conditions occasionally led to serious differences of opinion between the pastors and their congregations. The letters between 1754 and the beginning of the American Revolution give a vivid impression of the interplay of macro-political events and inner-community developments. In addition to information on official acts, there are remarks on other denominations and world views as weil as reflections on events and developments in politics and society, in science and culture.2. Volume 7 marks a change of perspective because here are published all the letters of the directors of the Glauchaschen institutions to the pastors in Pennsylvania. They not only provide important information about the ideas of the Halle directors about Pennsylvania and the New World, but also concrete information about the financial ties between Halle and the Lutheran congregations, especially about the scope, organization and use of the donations collected in Europe for the construction of churches in the Pennsylvanian congregations. The correspondence also shows how quickly the lively relations between the pastors and Halle/London diminished after the death of Gotthilf August Francke and FriedrichMichael Ziegenhagen. After 1783 the lively exchange was essentially reduced to financial matters.3. The correspondence of the volumes gives a vivid impression of how the religious and theological views between the pastors in Pennsylvania and the theologians in Germany diverged; again and again the growing influence of neologistic tendencies in Germany was deplored. This increasing gap also explains the reluctance of the pastors in Pennsylvania to ask Halle for help in filling vacant parish posts. The increasing gap strengthened the tendencies of the Lutheran pastors in Pennsylvania to advance the development of an independent church and thus free the Pennsylvanian congregations from their dependence on Europe.

即将出版的第5、6和7卷包含了来自22位不同牧师的信件和其他官方文件：93封来自1744 -1807年的信件（第5卷），105封来自1744-1807年的信件（第6卷）和194封来自1743-1825年的信件（第7卷）。从这些文件中的一些摘录出现，编辑，在当代传教士和熏陶文学。然而，大部分原始资料从未出版过。一个完整的注释和注释版本与详细的索引和几乎完全忠实的复制还不存在。 这三卷书在以下几个方面具有重要的研究价值：1.在这些文件中，牧师的困难工作条件是由市政当局的大规模定居结构造成的，这一点变得很清楚。这些情况有时会导致牧师和会众之间的严重意见分歧。从1754年到美国独立战争爆发之间的信件，生动地反映了宏观政治事件和社区内部发展的相互作用。除了有关官方行为的信息外，还有关于其他教派和世界观的评论，以及对政治和社会、科学和文化方面的事件和发展的思考。第7卷标志着视角的改变，因为这里出版了Glauchaschen机构董事致宾夕法尼亚州牧师的所有信件。它们不仅提供了关于哈雷董事对宾夕法尼亚州和新世界的想法的重要信息，而且还提供了关于哈雷和路德教会之间的财务关系的具体信息，特别是关于在欧洲收集的用于宾夕法尼亚教会教堂建设的捐款的范围，组织和使用。信件还显示如何迅速活跃的关系，牧师和哈勒/伦敦减少后，死亡的戈蒂尔夫八月弗朗克和弗里德里希迈克尔齐根茨。1783年后，活跃的交易基本上减少到金融问题。书信的卷给人一个生动的印象，如何宗教和神学之间的看法，牧师在宾夕法尼亚州和神学家在德国分歧;一次又一次的影响越来越大的新词倾向在德国感到遗憾。这种日益扩大的差距也解释了宾夕法尼亚州的牧师不愿要求哈雷帮助填补空缺的教区职位。日益扩大的差距加强了宾夕法尼亚州路德教牧师的倾向，以促进独立教会的发展，从而使宾夕法尼亚州的会众摆脱对欧洲的依赖。
