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. More at mangodlaw.com.

episode 10: Bob Dylan and the Book - Part Four | Together Through Life with Bob Dylan's Book, The Philosophy of Modern Song
The Philosophy of Modern Song. We're going to take the title of Bob Dylan's recent book seriously and try to read between the lines: What is the philosophy here? What’s modern about it? Is there a code for living the good life embedded within? We’ll be calling on the writing of Father Richard Rohr for help. He’s a man of faith, myth, contemplation, and action whose work gives a parallel lay to Dylan’s philosophy of modern song. He, Dylan, is also a man of faith, myth, contemplation, and action. We’re going to see where these teachers and The Philosophy of Modern Song lead us.
