"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.

I would be very surprised if the world sees Middle East peace in the lifetime of anyone now living. Perhaps the most that can be. hoped...
...rarely been a weapon for justice, and often a tool for subjugation. To answer, there is only the still developing idea that a new sort of Christianity is possible. Or rather, an old sort--a Christianity along the lines suggested by King, by the Latin Americans, and by Christ himself. And then there is this.
