Far better than average speaker, although falls short of great. A 3.5-3.75.

He manages to avoid the "Hollerin' Herb" style of oration that too many evangelicals seem to think is a requirement, and he has a nuanced cadence that makes it easy on the audience.

And I should observe that not only does he avoid the standard orating style of other evangelicals, he sets a moral, ethical and spiritual standard that none of the others seem to come near to reaching.

Something which even an apostate like me can recognize.

Billy Graham is a great orator, a sincere and caring man. I hate to see him cast in the same light with most "evangelicals".

Billy Graham has my utmost respect.

One of the best preachers in our time.
