And as in tragedy, this essential humanness makes him essentially divine, the sort of marvelous synthesis of the flesh and spirit that gave rise to the Palatine Anthology anecdote about Praxiteles' Aphrodite," Aphrodite said, "Where did Praxiteles see me naked...
Graham preaches the doctrines of the Trinity, Incarnation, Redemption; he accepts the authority of the Scriptures, the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection and Second Coming of Christ; he acknowledges the existence of a personal Satan, the immortality of the soul, a heaven and hell beyond the grave, the necessity of personal repentance, of a personal Saviour.

An overwhelming majority (90% in the U.S., 71% in Britain) believed that Christ was the son of God, but belief was not so strong in a life after death (U.S. 74%, Britain 54%).
