Great Religious Poety (and Bob Dylan)

There is no great religious poetry that does not raise-as crucial to its enterprise-the question of whether it is open to the charge of blasphemy, even as there is no great erotic art that does not raise the question of whether it is open to the charge of pornography.

--Christopher Ricks, Bob Dylan's Vision of Sin
