You don't want to miss this one: classic rock with r'n'b and gospel tendencies underpinning sound biblical doctrine.  Dylan says he was blinded by the  "  /born already ruined/  Stone cold  /as I stepped out  of the womb.  By His grace I have been touched,  by His Word I have been  healed,  By His hand I've been delivered,  by His Spirit I've been sealed;  I've been saved  By the Blood of the Lamb..." Dylan puts the blame where  it belongs:  the fallen state of man.  And then, with a flourish that would  make the apostle Paul smile, Dylan puts the credit for the cure squarely  where it belongs: the grace of God.  The biblical theme is very strong  here.  Actually, Dylan seems more concerned with the prominence of the  Bible in his thought than does the Vineyard movement that was instrumental  in his conversion.  Dylan's is no signs-and-wonders-gospel.  "Many  try to stop me, shake me up in my mind Say, "Prove to me that He is  Lord, show me a sign. What kind of sign they need when it all come from  within?" Dylan shows more concern for the "quiet man of the  heart" than for a religion of miraculous display. Two other cuts  should be mentioned here.  "Covenant Woman" explores the role of  romantic love in the context of a life of faith.  The next cut-the  heartfelt "What Can I Do For You?"-is, to borrow a multi-platinum  phrase from elsewhere, a lovesong for a Savior.  Dylan paints the theme of  love with broad strokes. Too bad Mark Knoppfler and Pick Withers didn't  show up for these sessions as they did on "Slow Train."  (After  all, isn't it possible that "Precious Angel" is actually the apex  of Dire Straits?)  But, no matter.  This album rocks.  If you can imagine  John Calvin fronting a rock-and-roll band-and who can't? (lol)-then you  should get "Saved."
