Rock and religion have become intertwined in contemporary culture. Bob Dylan played a key role in the fusion of rock and religion when he converted to Christianity in late 1978. Dylan was ahead of the contemporary Christian music trend. Although he helped legitimize Christian rock in the late seventies, even his early music had deeply spiritual undertones. Here, author Webb focuses on Dylan¿s religious period, but convincingly shows that this religious period cannot be understood apart from a rereading of his entire career. Webb reevaluates Dylan¿s early career in light of Dylan¿s Christian period and shows that Dylan¿s Christian period was a natural development in his musical and spiritual journey. ¿A compelling reading of Bob Dylan¿s music and career.¿.
