Books by Grant Wacker

Drawing on decades of research on Billy Graham and American evangelicalism, Wacker has marshalled personal interviews, archival research, and never-before-published photographs to tell the remarkable story of one of the most celebrated Christians in American history.

More than a conventional biography, Grant Wacker's interpretive study deepens our understanding of why Billy Graham has mattered so much to so many, and how his uncanny ability to appropriate trends in the wider culture allowed him to transform his born-again theology into a moral vocabulary capturing the aspirations and fears of average Americans.
