"The Most Prominent Evangelist of the 20th Century"

"Graham was said to have preached the Christian message to some 200 million people over the course of his seven-decade career. He counseled presidents, built institutions, and publicly weighed in on almost every political and social issue of his long era. Commanding and charismatic, he did more than anyone else to make evangelicalism a mainstream movement in America."

Ruth Graham at Slate calls Billy Graham "America's Pastor," upon his death.

And Jack Kelly at History News Network compares Billy Graham to Charles Grandison Finney.
