The Halle Pietists ensured the spread of Lutherism abroad. By the order of Danish King Frederick IV (1671–1730), two theologians trained by Francke constructed a mission station in the Danish trade colony Tranquebar on the southeast coast of India. The missionaries established social institutions and schools according to the Halle model for boys and, for the first time in India, also for girls.
… has thus far been focused on the journals and correspondence of Henry Melchior Mühlenberg (1711-87), this project aimed at transcribing and editing all preserved official letters and journals written by Muhlenberg’s colleagues, that is, all Lutheran pastors dispatched from Halle to Pennsylvania between 1745 and 1786.
