Bob Dylan: About Man and God and Law
Many of our assumptions about spiritual intention, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan’s need to know what’s blowing in the wind.
In a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory, About Man and God and Law hears sixty years of popular music anew, offering both a map and a manifesto for empathy and purpose for anyone seeking a life of meaning inspired by the songs they love.
Stephen Daniel Arnoff injects the quest with an equal dose of academic bona fides mixed with a rock and roll irreverence. How does it feel? Let's find out together.
Look for the book About Man & God & Law: The Spiritual Wisdom of Bob Dylan coming in December from Morgan James Publishing.
