The Bible and Dylan (4)

As you’d expect, there’s loads of coverage of The Bible in Dylan on the web, much of it frighteningly, obsessively missionary in tone.

One of the earliest sites, which is neither of those things, is Bill Parr’s Christianity and Bob Dylan site - Slow Train Coming Home Page. Though it’s showing its age a bit, Parr’s site (he’s a professor of statistics at the University of Tennessee) has some compelling comment on the topic, drawing together notes from many different sources.


It’s well worth a look:
