This rare 1936 first edition of “Christ the King” offers a fascinating glimpse into the Episcopal Church’s teachings and reflections during the tumultuous interwar period. Written by James DeWolf Perry, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church from 1930 to 1937, this Lenten devotional provides insight into the church’s role in addressing the social and political upheavals of the time. Perry’s leadership coincided with the Great Depression, and his writings often grappled with issues of economic justice and the church’s responsibility to the poor. This copy, with its well-preserved hardcover and clean pages, is a remarkable survivor from a pivotal era in American history. Collectors of religious texts, particularly those focused on the Episcopal tradition, will appreciate this volume’s historical significance and its connection to one of the church’s most influential leaders of the 20th century.
