Catholic and Protestant: Two Religious Periodicals and US-Soviet Relations, 1930-1950

To explore this issue, this paper will provide a literature review of two religiously affiliated US magazines with some analysis of what their contributors had to say about the Soviet Union during the 1930s and 1940s.
