The Bible and Dylan (2)

Thanks to Martin Cowan:

“This from Wikepedia, about John Wesley Harding:

‘The dark, religious tones that appeared during the Basement Tape sessions also continues through these songs, manifesting in language from the King James Bible.

‘In The Bible in the Lyrics of Bob Dylan, Bert Cartwright cites more than sixty biblical allusions over the course of the forty minute album, with as many as fifteen in "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" alone. An Old Testament morality also colors most of the songs' characters.

“Not sure if the Bert Cartwright book is still in print, and sadly Bert is no longer with us.”
