Summary:[...]none of the "standard" biographies of Graham seemed adequately to analyze the intersection between him and trends in public life. [...]whenever the materials allowed, I tried to give Graham the benefit of the doubt, just as I hope historians would give me the benefit of the doubt if they wrote about me. According to one source, when a campus group invited Graham to speak in the Duke chapel in 1985, the divinity school faculty voted 12 to 10 to endorse the invitation. [...]Graham often served as a conduit of information between American and international leaders.
