NCLA Review - Michael Gilmour, associate professor of New Testament and English at Providence College in Manitoba, Canada and author of other works on rock music and religion, focuses on Bob Dylan in this new book. Dylan, one of the most important rock music figures of all time, notably went through a conversion phase from his family’s Judaism to Christianity in the late ’70s, and then later appeared to distance himself from organized religion. Gilmour traces Dylan’s musical development, commenting on Scriptural relationships and analogies, but this book should be understood to be primarily about Dylan, and only secondarily about Scripture. It also comments as much on Old Testament as New Testament or Gospel imagery; Gilmour has written an earlier book entitled Tangled Up in the Bible: Bob Dylan and Scripture (Continuum, 2004), and though that book was not available for comparison, this reviewer wonders what the overlap between the two might be. For only the largest church libraries. Note: The book clearly states that it has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by any person or entity associated with Bob Dylan.

Since the early 1960s, music fans have found Bob Dylan's spirituality fascinating, and many of them have identified Dylan as a kind of spiritual guru. This book, written by a scholar who is a longtime fan, examines Dylan's mystique, asking why audiences respond to him as a spiritual guide. This book reveals Bob Dylan as a major twentieth- and twenty-first-century religious thinker with a body of relevant work that goes far beyond a handful of gospel albums.
