Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Graham's ministry is often described as a quintessentially American success story. This book, however, explores how Graham's encounters and perception in Europe shaped what was from the beginning on an international ministry. The revival meetings which Billy Graham held in London, Berlin, and New York in the 1950s provided lively fora for ministers, politicians, and ordinary Christians to imagine and experience the future of faith, the role of religion in the Cold War, and the intersections between faith and consumer culture in new ways.
