Bob Dylan: unwitting Christian?

Bob Dylan was a Christian long before he or anyone else knew it, according to the author of a study of the artist.

In his book, Dylan Redeemed: From Highway 61 to Saved, Stephen H Webb professor of religion and philosophy in Indiana, argues that the doyen of the guitar rif has always written songs with Christian overtones. In an interview in The Guardian Webb is so convinced of this he says:

"I do think everybody would be much more comfortable with Dylan if he just became Jewish and gave up the whole Christian thing."

Here's Dylan performing 'Knocking on Heaven's door'...
