About Man and God and Law
The Spiritual Wisdom of Bob Dylan

About This Book
About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today.
By the 1960's, centuries of disruption, creativity, and longing outlined a Rock and Roll Empire hungry for old school joy and salvation beyond the boundaries of traditional religion. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, rock and roll scholar Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan re-enchanted the essential questions that have occupied sages and seekers from Homer to Dante, Shakespeare to Whitman, and Aretha to Zevon. Dylan's journey of spiritual wisdom has inspired a pantheon of prophetic musicians, doing more to influence how we live and feel than that of any other cultural figure of his era. Precisely at a moment when the world seems like uncharted territory, About Man and God and Law shows how Dylan opens up readers' eyes, not only to see where they are, but where they need to go.
