"The "Afterword" and an epilog touch upon Graham's legacy and theorize about the future of his movement. A much--recommended read." -- Grzegorz Frąszczak, University of Vienna, Religious Studies Review

"A much-recommended read." -- Grzegorz Frąszczak, Religious Studies Review

"This is a useful collection of essays on the foremost evangelist of his age whose career offers an important lens through with to view America's own pilgrimage in the post-World War II era." -- Mark Silk, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

"This volume is as balanced an assessment of the man and his work as is currently available." -- John Darch, Anvil

"This collection of articles constitutes a most useful and welcome addition to the burgeoning scholarship on Billy Graham. Much has been written about Graham, but this book shows again that much has also remained unexplored and is still to learn ... as scholars engage these contexts and evaluate the outcomes they would be seriously amiss if they chose to ignore this fine book's insights." -- Markku Ruotsila, Journal of Transatlantic Studies

"This anthology is remarkably successful in interpreting Graham's work from the perspective of his own theological and cultural context For a nuanced, highly perceptive, historical exploration of Graham's work and legacy, this book is unsurpassed."--Daniel K. Williams, Reading Religion

"Billy Graham, say this book's editors, belongs on the Mount Rushmore of greatness in American religion. But with several strong biographies already written about him, what more is there to know about his legacy? The talented authors of this book prove that Billy Graham's pilgrimage has more dimensions than one might imagine. Far from than offering the final word on Graham's ministries, they open up fresh questions about Christianity in America-and the world beyond its shores." -Joel Carpenter, Director of the Nagel Institute for the Study of World Christianity, Calvin College

"Billy Graham's emergence as a religious celebrity provided legitimacy for the entire movement we know today as evangelicalism. In this remarkable volume, a stellar lineup of contributors provides fresh insight into the most famous and influential evangelical of the twentieth century." -Randall Balmer, author of Evangelicalism in America and producer of Crusade: The Life of Billy Graham

"The multi-faceted career of Billy Graham deserves the kind of multi-faceted consideration that this fine book delivers. Those who think they know Graham will be surprised by many fresh insights; those who need an introduction could not find a better place to start. It is a memorable book about the United States' most memorable public Christian." -Mark A. Noll, author of In the Beginning Was the Word: The Bible in American Public Life, 1492-1783
