NANCY GIBBS, JOURNALIST: He talks about having really asked God to guide him in this moment, at this crossroads, and feeling this sense of peace and conviction that, no, he is right to continue on this path, where he is not to be questioning any of the literal truths of the Bible, but to preach it as God's holy word.
南希·吉布斯,记者:他谈到在此时此刻,在这个十字路口,他真的请求上帝引导他,并感受到这种平安感和信念,不,他继续走这条路是正确的,在那里他不应该质疑圣经的任何字面真理,而是将其作为上帝的圣言来传播。

And Niebuhr believed that the techniques of revivalism, the very message itself, oversimplified the dynamics of a modern society.

I criticize the revival wherever it gives petty and trivial answers to very great ultimate questions about the meaning of our life.

历史学家兰德尔·巴尔默:比利·格雷厄姆将 1960 年的选举视为他密切参与政治阴谋的机会,这将导致他的朋友理查德·尼克松击败罗马天主教徒约翰·F·肯尼迪当选。

GRANT WACKER, BIOGRAPHER: Billy had met Nixon all the way back to 1952 in the U.S. Senate dining room, and they immediately hit it off.

And Graham and Nixon walk out onto the field together and the crowd just roars.

NANCY GIBBS, JOURNALIST: Billy Graham knew what it was to be loved, knew what it was to experience public adulation, enormous respect.
南希·吉布斯,记者:比利·格雷厄姆知道被爱是什么,知道经历公众的奉承和巨大的尊重是什么。

肯尼迪:我相信美国在官方上既不是天主教、新教,也不是犹太教,没有任何宗教团体试图将其意志直接或间接强加于普通民众或其官员的公共行为……

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: My dear Fellow Clergymen…
小马丁·路德·金:我亲爱的牧师同胞们……
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice...who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action.” DR. JONATHAN LEE WALTON, THEOLOGIAN: Even though he’s speaking to those clergy members from the city of Birmingham, he’s articulating a larger critique of the white evangelical movement, namely, it’s moderates, of which Billy Graham is at the forefront.
我几乎得出了一个令人遗憾的结论:黑人迈向自由的最大绊脚石不是白人公民议员或三K党,而是白人温和派,他们更致力于“秩序”而不是正义……他们不断地说:“我同意你所追求的目标,但我不同意你直接行动的方法。”博士。乔纳森·李·沃尔顿,神学家:尽管他是在对伯明翰市的神职人员发表讲话,但他对白人福音派运动提出了更大的批评,即温和派,其中比利·格雷厄姆处于最前沿。
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: ...I have been disappointed with the church...
小马丁·路德·金:……我对教会感到失望……
In the midst of blatant injustices inflicted upon the Negro, I have watched white churchmen stand on the sideline and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities.

And sometimes this is difficult because I feel the pressure from both right and left constantly.

JEMAR TISBY, WRITER: When it really came to expressing solidarity with Black people and their allies, it just didn’t fit with the larger project of white evangelicalism.
作家杰马尔·蒂斯比:当真正表达对黑人及其盟友的声援时,它与白人福音派的更大计划不符。
BILLY GRAHAM: I’m afraid that people are getting a distorted idea about American democracy, when they see, for example, rubber hoses and police dogs and all these things being used.
比利·格雷厄姆:我担心人们对美国民主的看法是扭曲的,例如,当他们看到橡胶软管和警犬以及所有这些东西被使用时。
Because I think these are isolated incidents that do not really reflect the mood of the entire country.
因为我认为这些都是孤立事件,并不能真正反映整个国家的情绪。
DR. JONATHAN LEE WALTON, THEOLOGIAN: This moment captures the ways that Billy Graham often obscured his hunger, thirst and quest for popularity and mass acclaim.

历史学家米勒:到那时,尼克松与格雷厄姆的关系已经接近一代人了。
And so if Graham’s desire going back with Truman was to have that voice in the White House, why then he really had it.
因此,如果格雷厄姆重返杜鲁门的愿望是在白宫拥有这样的声音,那么为什么他真的拥有了它。
NANCY GIBBS, JOURNALIST: Nixon made it a point that if he didn't talk to Graham regularly that one of his closest aides would.
南希·吉布斯,记者:尼克松指出,如果他不定期与格雷厄姆交谈,他最亲密的助手之一就会这样做。

GRANT WACKER, BIOGRAPHER: Graham’s position on the Vietnam War evolved.
传记作者格兰特·瓦克:格雷厄姆对越南战争的立场发生了变化。
At the beginning he was a hawk.
一开始他是一只鹰。
In the late ‘60s, early ‘70s, he’s not as hawkish as he had been.
在 60 年代末、70 年代初,他不像以前那么鹰派了。
You’re a close friend of President Nixon.
你是尼克松总统的密友。
What is your feeling he’ll do about the war in the first year or two of his office?
您认为他在上任的头一两年会对战争采取什么措施?
BILLY GRAHAM: Well, he – I saw him last Monday night, and the last thing he said to me as I went out the elevator, he said, “Tell those men over there that we’re pulling for them and that we’re going to try to bring peace as quick as we can.” GRANT WACKER, BIOGRAPHER: Soon after Nixon’s inauguration, Graham sends a letter to the president.
比利·格雷厄姆:嗯,他——上周一晚上我看到了他,当我走出电梯时他对我说的最后一句话是:“告诉那边的那些人,我们正在支持他们,我们将尽力尽快实现和平。”传记作者格兰特·瓦克:尼克松就职后不久,格雷厄姆给总统写了一封信。
The main thrust of it is that the United States military needs to withdraw and let the Vietnamese take over the prosecution of the war.

GRANT WACKER, BIOGRAPHER: Without question, Graham not only had a close working relationship with Nixon.

And Billy Graham offers the way out by inviting him to come down to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.

Nixon had strong support in the region, especially in east Tennessee where Knoxville is located.

But he is our president.
但他是我们的总统。
RANDALL BALMER, HISTORIAN: Graham's primary loyalty was to Nixon.
历史学家兰德尔·巴尔默:格雷厄姆的主要忠诚是尼克松。
And that trumped Graham's judgment about the morality of the expansion of the war in Southeast Asia.

Graham was willing to set that aside and say, ‘Nixon's the guy, Nixon's my person.

为了他们的目的,你不可能把它包装得更整齐。
As a Southerner, and I’m very proud to be a Southerner, public schools have been a way of life in the south for many years.
作为一个南方人,我为自己是一个南方人而感到非常自豪,公立学校多年来一直是南方的一种生活方式。
A lot of Southerners may be frustrated and angry right now, and many don’t agree with all the changes that have been taking place in the schools, especially this bussing for racial balance.
许多南方人现在可能感到沮丧和愤怒,许多人不同意学校发生的所有变化,尤其是这种争取种族平衡的校车。
RANDALL BALMER, HISTORIAN: The gist of these ads was to try to persuade white Southerners, to abandon the Democratic Party for Nixon's Republican Party.
历史学家兰德尔·巴尔默:这些广告的主旨是试图说服南方白人放弃民主党,转而支持尼克松的共和党。
And Graham is willing to go on record in a very, very graphic way, to make that happen.

Billy Graham: I really believe that the South will set an example of respect for law that will be a model for others to follow.

历史学家凯文·克鲁斯:1971 年的比利·格雷厄姆日那天,夏洛特市因这一活动而关闭。

记者南希·吉布斯:学校关闭,企业关闭,整个城市都出来欢迎回家并庆祝他们最喜欢的儿子。

达伦·多丘克,历史学家:这是他职业生涯的顶峰,在这一时刻,他和理查德·尼克松在塑造美国价值观的政治和文化项目中紧密结合在一起。
NANCY GIBBS, JOURNALIST: Billy Graham Day was not about honoring God, it was about honoring Billy Graham, and so now he is the subject of all the adulation, and that had to be a very different kind of experience for him.
南希·吉布斯,记者:葛培理日不是为了纪念上帝,而是为了纪念葛培理,所以现在他成为了所有崇拜的对象,这对他来说一定是一次非常不同的经历。
And arguably, a dangerous one.
