religious tract
Evangelical printed leaflet
A religious tract is a short pamphlet or leaflet promoting religious beliefs, often distributed by hand or left in public places.
Tracts typically present simplified arguments for conversion or moral guidance: Jehovah's Witnesses left a religious tract at the door.
The format has been used since the Reformation to spread doctrine to mass audiences.
