Chick tracts are short evangelical tracts created and published by American publisher Jack T. Chick. Although many of Chick's tracts express views that are generally accepted within Christian theology, such as the Incarnation of Christ,〔''(Charlie's Ants )'', Jack Chick, 1997.〕 several tracts express controversial viewpoints. Most notably, Chick is known for his strong anti-Catholic views, which are expressed in 20 of his tracts (along with several full-length comic books). ==Chick Publications== Chick Publications produces and markets the Chick tracts, along with other comic books, books, and posters.〔Chapman, Roger (2010) ''Culture Wars: an Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, and Voices'', Volume 1 M E Sharpe, p. 84〕 Chick Publications has its headquarters in Rancho Cucamonga and has an Ontario, California mailing address. The company estimates it has printed over 800 million tracts during the first 50 years of business. On its website they note that "Our ministry is primarily publishing the gospel tracts of Jack T. Chick, but we do occasionally publish a manuscript in book form." They state that if the content "educates Christians in one of the areas for which we have a tract, we would love to see it" and cite several examples; the online store lists nearly a dozen book categories.〔 Most of Chick's tracts, and several excerpts from his full-length comics, can be read without charge at the Chick website. While many older tracts are out-of-print, Chick Publications will perform a special printing run of most of the out-of-print tracts upon a request of at least 10,000 copies. Over time, several of Chick's tracts have undergone variations in art and text, which have in some circles come to be collected by fans. As of January 2015, Chick Publications had produced over 250 different titles, about 100 of which are still in print, and are available in over 100 languages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chick tract」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
