Psalms for Modern Life (Interpreted with Drawings by Arthur Wragg)

The Psalms for Modern Life (1933) reimagines the biblical Psalms through the lens of the social and economic struggles of the 1930s. Known for his bold, black-and-white illustrations, Wragg combines striking visual art with modernised psalms, offering a sharp critique of issues such as poverty, inequality, and the alienation caused by industrialisation. The book reflects Wragg’s deep concern for social justice and his pacifist ideals, making it a compelling fusion of art, faith, and social commentary. Very good condition book in good condition dust jacket. Some darkening to boards along edges, some tears and loss to dust jackets.
