Abstract
The purpose or this thesis is to present a history of the religious press in Milwaukee. Through the religious press or this city is made articulate the growth and development of the various religious groups represented by the press and effected by it to the extent that the press is able to mold the thought and opinions of its constant readers. This thesis is not concentrated upon those ephemeral publications which came to life with the growth of Milwaukee and died before they had reached their literary maturity. It is concerned primarily with those religious presses operative today. Correlative with the purpose, scope, and establishment · of these presses, is the influence which they have exerted upon the thought and character of their readers. The religious press in this city is not unusually extensive as we count individual publications. But it is reflective of the activity of certain religious groups within this city and the extent of this activity. Not all the various civic denominations are at present represented in the field of religious journalism, bμt where they are represented, this thesis will seek to interpret this representation in terms of history, purpose, achievement, and extent of influence. In proportion as their representation is significant, so will they be considered.
