Critical reflections on the work of Angus Charles Graham, renowned Western scholar of Chinese philosophy and sinology.This volume engages with the works and ideas of Angus Charles Graham (1919–1991), one of the most prominent Western scholars of Chinese philosophy, at the twenty-fifth anniversary of his passing. Over a professional career of more than thirty years, Angus Graham produced an impressive amount of scholarship on a wide array of topics, ranging from Chinese grammar and philology to poetry and philosophy. His combination of rigorous scholarship and philosophical originality has continued to inspire scholars to tackle related research topics, and in so doing, has required of them a response to his views. This book illustrates the range of scholarship still elaborating upon, disagreeing with, and reacting to Graham's work on Chinese thought, philosophy, philology, and translation.

I am fully aware that evangelism is a term with many facets. Its over-all meaning has to do with the spread of the gospel of Christ. There are several approaches to this divinely appointed task. Widely used techniques have evolved over the years. But it is an indisputable fact that practically all of the methods used today were used by Jesus and the early Christians. Paul expressed the attitude of the early Church when he wrote, "To all men I have become all things, to save some by all and every means." In well planned revival efforts all known methods are used. In a significant sense a genuine revival marks the climax of the desire of Christians to win others to Christ. It is my purpose to follow the revival stream from King Josiah to Billy Graham, and to discuss in chronological sequence, the great revivals that have moved the souls of men and kept the church on the march. In my rather extensive reading in this field, I have not seen a book that treated this important subject as I have attempted to do. It is my belief that a summation of spiritual revivals of all times, given without excessive detail, will broaden the understanding and deepen the appreciation of all who will read the record. It is crystal clear that if the revivals cited had not occurred, our religion would not have the prominent place in the thought and life of men it has today. I do not pretend that what this book contains will have the attraction of novelty, but I believe it will have reader appeal for all Christians who desire a fuller knowledge of revivalism as it has been expressed over the years. Deep inside me has crystallized the conviction that the basic concept of revivalism belongs to the divine economy and that it is a fruitful means of keeping religion alive in the souls of men and in the life of the world. This conviction did not form while I was dwelling in an ivory tower. It came while I was in the midst of spiritual conflict. I was converted in a revival. I have closely observed the results of revival efforts in churches. I have served as minster over the years, and I have witnessed the conversion of sinners, as well as the inspirational boosts given to the churches. I am sending this book forth with the earnest hope that all who read it will re-think and re-appraise revivalism, and that they will become vigorous supporters of this time honored method of making converts to Christ and His kingdom among men.
Evangelist and temperance advocate Emma Molloy moved to the Ozarks to establish a home for her family while she traveled and lectured throughout the United States. Trusting that her farm manager, George Graham, and his wife Cora could manage the farm and take care of her younger children, she left home and continued her crusade for temperance. Her trust was misplaced and the result was the "Graham Tragedy," so named when George's former wife Sarah was found dead on the Molloy farm. Emma's relationship with George, as well as her status as a respected public figure, placed her at the center of a scandal from which she never fully recovered.

In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the 21st century, Americans are intimately familiar with televangelists and preachers with a national reputation, and their shows are ubiquitous, but in the middle of the 20th century, the phenomenon was popularized by the most famous evangelist in American history: Billy Graham. As biographer Grant Wacker put it, "By the middle 1960s, he had become the 'Great Legitimator'. ...His presence conferred sanctity on events, authority on presidents, acceptability on wars, desirability on decency, and] shame on indecency....By the middle 1970s, many deemed him 'America's pastor.'" By his mid-20s, Graham was a Baptist pastor in the Midwest, and throughout the 1940s, he began traveling across the country to spread his ministry and message through large gatherings that he termed "crusades." In time, these crusades would take place in nearly 200 nations and attract hundreds of millions of people, helping catapult him to international prominence and making him a household name. In the process, Graham became a figure of political importance, not only for his outspoken stances on issues like civil rights and other social issues but because he was close to political leaders like Dwight D. Eisenhower. At the same time, he was controversial among some, including Harry Truman, who was quoted as saying "I hadn't ought to say this, but he's one of those counterfeits I was telling you about. He claims he's a friend of all the Presidents, but he was never a friend of mine when I was President. I just don't go for people like that. All he's interested in is getting his name in the paper." When President Nixon's tapes were declassified, some of Graham's anti-Semitic comments to the president about Jews controlling the media were also made public, further tarnishing his image. Nonetheless, Graham continues to be a popular figure, and it's estimated that his message has reached more than 2 billion people through radio, television, and other media. In conjunction with that, it's believed that he has converted millions of people to Christianity. American Legends: The Life of Billy Graham examines the life and career of America's most famous evangelist. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Billy Graham like never before, in no time at all.
