Here is Paul Schaffers’s Dylan recollections. Somewhat amusing.

Bob Dylan’s Band Camp

Interesting recollections. Schaffer seems to imply that Dylan's faith journey has returned him to Orthodox Judaism which hasn't been documented and which is contradicted by his music. When asked in an interview a few years ago if he read the New Testament, Dylan answered "every day."

Also, isn't it sad some people think they can include in their books comments about Christianity like Wexler's -- “Oh, I wouldn’t say anything,” he (Wexler) said in a panic. “Bob takes this shit seriously.”

Yet if the tables were turned they surely would feel they "Gotta Sue Somebody."

I met Dylan once at a party and he is completely opaque. He loves that image and says he wants to be known through his music and lyrics. I take him at his word. 8~)
