Author rethinks Billy Graham in new biography
UPI religion writer David E. Anderson reports Marshall Frady, author of Billy Graham A Parable of American Righteousness, revised his view after four years of work. Frady describes a nuanced portrait of Graham, noting initial alarm from the Graham organization but later cordial notes from the evangelist. The book aims to explain the Graham phenomenon, not simply praise or condemn, and reflects Frady’s deepened personal view amid focus on Nixon and Watergate.
