About This Book

Bob Dylan: A Spiritual Life traces Dylan's religious and spiritual development from his Jewish upbringing through his controversial Christian conversion in the late 1970s to the continuing spiritual searching visible in his later work. Scott Marshall draws on years of research and original interviews to argue that Dylan's spiritual life is not a series of distinct phases but a continuous, restless inquiry.

Dan John Miller narrates with a respectful scholarly tone appropriate to the biography's careful approach to its subject. The audiobook functions as both Dylan biography and study of American religious identity, and Miller's even delivery keeps the spiritual analysis from tipping into either advocacy or skepticism.
