Los protestantes españoles, el franquismo y la política exterior estadounidense, a través de las páginas de The Christian Century (1947-1951)

Resumen:
The Christian Century, an American Protestant magazine of religious news, paid detailed attention to the situation of the Spanish Protestant minority under the denominationally Catholic Franco's dictatorship. The lack of religious freedom was one of the most relevant and troublesome aspects of the bilateral relation between Spain and the United States in the Cold War historical framework. In this paper the time immediately before the signature of the agreements is considered. It was a historical moment in which the Franco regime was getting rid step by step of its ostracism, but it was not yet integrated in the U.S.-led global strategy.
