Common card · No. 303403

Charles Bradley Templeton (October 7, 1915 – June 7, 2001) was a Canadian broadcaster, journalist, novelist, politician, and former Christian evangelist. Known in the 1940s and 1950s as a prominent preacher and an early associate of Billy Graham, he later left evangelism, became an agnostic and then an atheist, and wrote about his rejection of Christianity in Farewell to God. Some Christian writers have cited late-life comments attributed to Templeton about missing Jesus, but these claims have been interpreted in different ways, particularly because Templeton was elderly and suffering from Alzheimer's disease near the end of his life.
