Bargainin' for salvation

Bob Dylan, a Zen master?

by Steven Heine, Steven Heine

Cover of Bargainin' for salvation

"Throughout his various stages, Dylan's work reveals an affinity with the Zen worldview, where enlightenment can be attained through self-contemplation and intuition rather than through faith and devotion. Much has been made of Dylan's Christian periods, but never before has a book engaged Dylan's deep and rich oeuvre through a Buddhist lens."--Back cover.
