Yay! A fairly unbiased look at Dylan's faith. Once the press dropped the story everyone just supposed that he'd gone south. From the odd account I'd heard it seemed that Dylan was still at least walking a line. I'm really glad that I found this analysis of his recent music in light of his faith. Good to hear.

What an outstanding article. I'm just attempting to write a paper on Bob Dylan's apocalyptic (hopefully different to Christopher Ricks's one!) and this was inspirational. Thank you.

What an irresistible combination, Dylan, a Jewish Poet infused and inspired by the Holy Spirit - the seed of the Word that fell onto good soil.
Loved his gospel stuff when I heard it.
Really enjoyed the article, glad to know he is still keepin on. Inspires me also when things get tough.

My husband and Bob Dylan are the same age. They both keep pressing on, and I guess that's one reason we both keep following Dylan in concerts around the Southeast. Bob's faith may be private, but he lets us know he is a seeker and follower, and particularly as those of us who have aged well know, this world is not our home, but having Bob Dylan pass throug with us makes it more pleasurable.

So What? A person's faith, or lack of, is private and no one's business....Mr. Dylan is a songwriter and what he believes or doesn't believe is of no concern to me. I found your article a bore.

If one finds something boring one can move on to something else; many others, myself included, find the article very interesting. As regards religion, why should it be compulsorily private, if the individual concerned chooses to go public? Liberal society seems to think that every other aspect of peoples' lives should be out in the open.

Good article...but one thing seems to be missing, unless I overlooked it: Love Rescue Me
This single (recorded with U2, on their Rattle and Hum Album) is probably my favorite song, and the biggest statement of faith that I know of.

Bob's latest album CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART makes it abundantly clear to me he loves our LORD. He who saves us is also able to keep us. The album brought tears of joy to my heart. The last word on the album is AMEN! -- as with God it is always yea and Amen!
