I heard about this two years ago: America’s finest NT scholar, Dale Allison, was packing up his books for a little while to write a book on none other than George Harrison. It’s out! The Love There That’s Sleeping: The Art and Spirituality of George Harrison. I hope you can find a way to buy it and read it.
Questions: What were you doing (in life) when you first heard George Harrison? What do you think of his part in the Beatles and his ongoing individual development as a musician?
I’m a fan — not only of Dale’s many NT works, but also of the Beatles. What scholars and experts have said about George Harrison is beyond me, but I can say this: I doubt anyone has subjected him to such an analysis as has been given by Dale Allison. He sketches the following themes in his music and life: theology, human nature, established religions, our predicament, death and reincarnation, human folly, and salvation.
