The Religious Wanderings of Bob Dylan

For the first time since the last century, this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature went to an American writer — singer, songwriter, author Bob Dylan.

At 75, Dylan is still filling concert halls and arenas and rocking late into the night. He’s been quoted in Supreme Court decisions, and St. John Paul II once built an entire homily on Dylan’s classic song “Blowin’ in the Wind.” The first volume of his memoirs, “Chronicles, Volume One,” was critically as well as popularly acclaimed when it appeared in 2004.
