Property of Jesus

Following Saved, Shot of Love reintroduced secular themes into his music; but “Property of Jesus” is the center song on the first side.  Additionally, Infidels was viewed as a return to the “old” Bob Dylan by most; however, the title clearly has religious connotations – and might even represent a dagger toward his critics.  “Man of Peace” on this album – as in, “sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace” – could easily have fit onto one of the earlier albums.
