missionary tracts
Evangelical printed materials
Missionary tracts are small pamphlets distributed to spread religious faith, typically Christian.
They present simplified doctrine, conversion appeals, or moral instruction in a format cheap enough for mass production and brief enough to hand to strangers: She found a missionary tract tucked under her windshield wiper.
The genre favors stark warnings about salvation and damnation.
