Description

Once called "Dylan's God Awful Gospel" by his fans, Bob Dylan's Jesus-following years are today regarded as the best of his career. Experience an insider’s view of Bob Dylan's born-again transformation, and its effect on his life and music. In late 1978, Bob Dylan joined the Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church. Here, Dylan's Bible class teacher, Pastor Bill Dwyer, details Dylan's embrace of Jesus Christ and Christianity. Dylan then made three Gospel albums, winning a Grammy for Gotta Serve Somebody. However, Dylan's radical new direction alienated fans and enraged critics as he preached evangelical messages from the Book of Revelation. Using insider interviews from Jerry Wexler, Regina McCrary, Spooner Oldham, Joel Selvin, Al Kasha, and Weberman, this video features rare photos and exclusive live concert footage from 1978-1981, while Bob Dylan himself explains the impact of Jesus on his life and art in a recently unearthed interview from 1981.
