LH. You missed my point and I apologise for not being eloquent enough.

Dylan wrote songs and indeed writes songs as a profession. Entertainment is the end product and in that he excels.

Looking deeper than that is interesting but misses the point. If he is a theologian, then theology is entertainment. For me it might be but I doubt religious people would see it that way.

The person who said he is just a pop singer? Oh, that'll be himself. Don't forget this thread came about because sailor boy tried using Dylan lyrics to justify some pro religious stance or other in one of the more entertaining threads.
