| Summary: | Bob Dylan has always drawn language and imagery from the Bible. One example is considered in this paper, namely, how Dylan often portrays himself (or at least characters in songs) in ways that recall stories about Jesus. Two areas are treated: (a) imagery associated with Jesus' death; and (b) Dylan's use of deliberate ambiguity in Christ/antichrist language. The paper opens with two sections on methodology: the first includes comments on the limitations of artistic works for biographical research. The second treats the relationship between artistic literature and earlier sources. |
