A rabbi friend in the States knows a priest in Philly who says that Bruce Springsteen is the most important Catholic theologian today. I wouldn’t know, but as a rabbi I do know something about theology and religion, and I’ve little doubt about the Boss’s power as a galvanizing spiritual personality. I’ll go further: I don’t know a figure, religious or otherwise, who preaches and prances, dances and sings about redemption and hope as well as Bruce Springsteen. Indeed, I can’t think of anybody else who has inspired hope in so many hearts for so long and so well. Not another performer, preacher, nor a president, nor a prime minister. I’m ready to so testify.
