This first german edition of Mühlenberg's correspondence is of fundamental importance not only for church history in the U.S.A., but also for the early history of that country.

The letters, reproduced in their original form, are accompanied by numerous footnotes, which offer necessary explanations and commentary on the texts of the letters. They reflect not only the history of German Lutheranism in the U.S.A., but also the history of other churches and denominations.
