The Real Billy Graham
A Scot who took his degrees of M.A. and B.D. at Edinburgh University, DR. DAVID H. C. READ served as a chaplain in the Highland Division in the Second World War and is today pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church. He was captured at Saint-Valéry in 1940 and for the next five years was a prisoner in the German “bag.” Out of this experience came his first book, Prisoners’ Quest, a portion of which appeared in the Atlantic; his latest book, The Christian Faith, was published by Scribner’s. Dr. Read spends his summers in Scotland, and while there last year as Chaplain to Edinburgh University he observed the impact of Billy Graham upon his countrymen with impressions which differed from those reported by Dr Robertson in the June Atlantic.
