En esta estrategia de distribución jugó un papel clave James Graydon. En Barcelona publicó el Nou Testament en catalán (1836) y la Biblia (1837) en español. Ambos fueron impresos en el taller de Antonio Bergnes de las Casas, además de otros impresos protestantes, de tono polémico y apologético, que el colportor distribuyó por toda la costa mediterránea. La red de agentes de Bergnes y el papel jugado por la publicidad en prensa fueron esenciales para la distribución de estos impresos protestantes, generando una importante respuesta católica en los diarios y en textos antiprotestantes, contribuyendo a profundizar el debate sobre la libertad religiosa y la libertad de cultos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/9782 10.34096/ics.i44.9782 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/9782/9004 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/9782/9020 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 44 (2021): Junio; 61-86 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 44 (2021): Junio; 61-86 1851-1740 1514-8327 Protestantism Freedom of worship Religious tolerance Printers Barcelona Nineteenth century Protestantismo Libertad de cultos Tolerancia religiosa Imprentas Barcelona Siglo XIX Protestant propaganda and printing presses in Barcelona.
