In a book published in 2004, I highlighted the fact that many French people just happen to see Black faces on the TV because of…. American movies.

Billy Graham's legacy in Europe
On the occasion of today's Billy Graham's 90th Birthday..."Billy Graham is without a doubt the most global American evangelist of the twentieth century. Supported by the BGEA, an evangelism multinational, he travelled the five continents for over half a century.
It is no surprise that Continental Europe has been one of the main targets of his outreach. Isn’t Europe the world’s most secular continent?

Politics and Religion, France/USA
Both France and the USA do like to teach the World about values. These two great democracies share a common emphasis on universal rights, and it is no surprise if the world debate about the Iraqi war in 2003 turned around what France and what the US had to say.How to explain that? By going back to History, particularly in studying the relationship between politics and religion in France and the US. This is what this new book is about.
