...course, there are still some differences between Graham's opinions on the nuclear weapons race and what more socially oriented Christians have to say. Graham said at the Kennedy School of Government that "man stands before Armageddon, ready to blow himself up," and God will intervene before the button is pushed. Others have said that it is important to become involved in the freeze movement now, before Graham's scenario occurs...
...Communism. "Either Communism must die, or Christianity must die," he wrote in 1954, "because it is actually a battle between Christ and the anti-Christ." But in 1979 Graham seemed to view the situation in a different light. A vision of the world destroyed by a nuclear Armageddon replaced Communism as the greatest evil. And it was this revelation that was on display during Graham's appearance last week at a Kremlin-approved anti-nuclear conference in Moscow-a series of sermons, meetings and dinners that seemed to dazzle and delude the globetrotting evangelist.

What Miller has done here is create a milieu as dense and tangy as Tolkien's Middle Earth or Céline's demimonde. This is Australia as the Down Underworld, where character is revealed in the gradations between good and awful. Drawn in vivid cartoon strokes, this menagerie...
...theological side to Graham's position on nuclear weapons, and a reason for what socially oriented Christians see as his relative inaction on this position. While he believes that man should strive to eliminate war, and therefore nuclear weapons, he says. "There is going to come an Armageddon, Man stands before the Armageddon, ready to blow himself up, and God is going to intervene...
