What do you think of his part in the Beatles and his ongoing individual development as a musician?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a fan &#8212; not only of Dale&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"Allison's book\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jesuscreed.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/100_0293.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Allison's book\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jesuscreed.org\/2006\/12\/100_0293.thumbnail.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\">\n<div align=\"left\">Here is a pic of George looking over my shoulder when I was (faking) saying my morning prayers in my office at North Park. I inherited the poster from Lukas. Kris wanted to have a shot of me and that big picture of the Beatles.My answer to the question: I was in 5th grade, I believe, when the Beatles came out. Yes, we watched the original Ed Sullivan show. And I walked home at times, with the Beatles&#8217; words written out, and sang them with my two buddies &#8212; Dave Wine and Kent Banks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I heard about this two years ago: America&#8217;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.
