GRAHAM, William, Franklin, "Billy" (1918-):

American EVANGELIST and Southern BAPTIST Preacher whose work did much to revive evangelical religion in America. Among his many achievements probably the most significant is the founding of the magazine Christianity Today (1956), and the encouragement of solid evangelical scholarship. His ideas and appeal are summed up in his book Peace With God (1953).
