Billy Graham (1918–2018) was one of the most influential Christian evangelists of the 20th century, whose impact extended beyond the religious sphere into broader cultural and political realms. Known for his charismatic preaching and use of modern media, Graham conducted large-scale "crusades" that drew millions of attendees worldwide, fostering a sense of spiritual revival in post-war America and beyond. His integration of theology with contemporary issues allowed him to address topics like civil rights, where he notably desegregated his events early in the movement, and global peace, exemplified by his engagements with world leaders. While some critics questioned his close association with U.S. presidents and his role in shaping evangelicalism’s political alignment, his legacy as a unifying figure in Christianity remains significant.
