Billy Graham (1918–2018) — Evangelist und Prediger · baptistisch / evangelikal · USA

Billy Graham (1918–2018) war ein US-amerikanischer baptistischer Prediger, der durch weltweite Großevangelisationen und Medienarbeit zu einer der prägendsten Leitfiguren des globalen Evangelikalismus des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde. Er stand für den Aufruf zur persönlichen Bekehrung und überkonfessionelle Kooperation, geriet jedoch durch seine Nähe zur politischen Macht sowie 2002 veröffentlichte Tonbandaufnahmen aus dem Jahr 1972 mit antisemitischen Äußerungen gegenüber Richard Nixon in die Kritik. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Vermittler einer allgemein verständlichen, bibelzentrierten Theologie zu Glauben, Gebet und persönlicher Nachfolge.
