“Seth Rogovoy offers a unique perspective that examines Bob Dylan within the spectrum of Jewish religious history, but is never scholarly or pedantic. Mr. Rogovoy culls images from religious texts and matches them with Bob Dylan’s lyrics; he also points out when the lyrics preceded the events that they would seem to be about, suggesting that Bob Dylan is in fact a prophet. BOB DYLAN: Prophet, Mystic, Poet is an entertaining read; a book to add to the shelf of your Bob Dylan library.” — Suzanne Vega

“Seth Rogovoy proves that he is not only a master of Dylan’s music and life journey, but most significantly, of the whole idea of prophecy. Rogovoy’s Dylan stays true to his core vision through an era that would have tested Isaiah. In the clarity of his own vision, Rogovoy’s BOB DYLAN: Prophet, Mystic, Poet stands with Maimonides’ Guide for the Perplexed and Greil Marcus’s Shape of Things to Come. Few books make that distinguished cut. This one does.  It is required reading for those who seek to understand not only Dylan but the meaning of their own life. This is serious stuff. It’s also a pleasure to read. Each page is a ride with music all its own. ” – Rabbi Alan Berg, Portland, Oregon

“Even after almost fifty years, the language of Bob Dylan’s songs remains full of uncharted territory. Seth Rogovoy is uniquely qualified to examine the connections between Dylan’s songwriting and the Jewish liturgy, and BOB DYLAN: Prophet Mystic Poet helps fill in one more piece of an endless and endlessly fascinating puzzle.” – Alan Light, frequent contributor to the New York Times and former senior writer at Rolling Stone
