Out of the Dark Woods - Bob Dylan, Depression And Faith
Uncover the many sources of Bob Dylan's lyrical inspiration.

We are delighted to announce the release of a new work detailing the textual sources of the work of Bob Dylan, including the book of Revelation. Medical author Dr A T Bradford reveals a hitherto unrecognised health issue responsible for the dearth of Dylan's creative material (one original album only) in the 1990's.
The new book presents compelling evidence for the reason for Dylan's inspirational drought, as well as scholarly insights into the question of Dylan's faith. Learn the over-riding message of this longest-serving recording artist, and understand the spiritual language of his compositions.
The book was launched at a press conference at the British Medical Association's Headquarters, BMA House, Tavistock Square in London on July 26th.
Please read what the Christian Post had to say.
There is also a mention of the book in the New Zealand newspaper The Blenheim Sun.
Please read the article by Dr. Bradford upon the Cross Rhythms website.
Bob Dylan's Latest Album 'Tempest' Confirms His Christian Faith
Bob Dylan's Latest Album 'Tempest' Confirms His Christian Faith - Read Dr. Bradford's review of the new album upon the Cross Rhythms website.Bob Dylan has just released his 35th studio album, full of references to his Christian faith.
Dr A T Bradford, author of the book 'Dylan, Depression and Faith', reviewed Dylan's latest album and found numerous faith references confirming his book's previous findings.
Bradford quotes the following lyrics from Dylan's latest offerings:
- 'Duquesne Whistle': 'I can hear a sweet voice gently calling, must be the mother of our Lord ...'
- 'Soon After Midnight': 'I'm searching for phrases to sing your praises, I need to tell someone ...'
- 'Narrow Way': 'It's a long and narrow way, I can't work up to you, you'll surely have to work down to me someday' ... 'Look down angel, from the skies, help my weary soul to rise' ... 'I heard a voice at the dusk of day, saying 'Be gentle, brother, be gentle and pray ...'
- 'Pay in Blood': 'I've sworn to uphold the laws of God ... Man can't live by bread alone, I pay in blood, but not my own ...'
- 'Tin Angel': 'He renounced his faith, he denied his Lord ...'
- 'Tempest': 'He read the book of Revelation ...'
- 'Roll on John': 'I pray the Lord my soul to keep'
In a recent interview with 'Rolling Stone Magazine' about the new album Dylan said: 'I wanted to make something more religious. I just didn't have enough [religious songs]. Intentionally, specifically religious songs is what I wanted to do. That takes a lot more concentration to pull that off 10 times with the same thread - than it does with a record like I ended up with.'
Dylan, aged 71, continues to play 100+ shows a year. Could he still be communicating his faith? Bradford's book, 'Dylan, Depression And Faith - The Messages Behind The Music Of Bob Dylan', shows that he is.
Dr Bradford has done a short introductory video.
