This expanded and revised edition of the Guide to the Methodist Modern Art Collection is based on an original text by Roger Wollen, with additional contributions by members of the Management Committee of the Methodist Modern Art Collection.

The Collection drives us to think about what Christ means to us, and to look again at the Bible story: this has been the role of the visual arts as part of the language of the Church for most of its history. 

Foreword by the art critic Richard Cork

New Preface by Ann Sumner, Chair of the Management Committee of the Collection

Introduction by Graham Kent

Famous names from the British art world of the past 100 years are represented, such as Norman Adams, Edward Burra, Elizabeth Frink, Maggi Hambling, David Jones, Ceri Richards, William Roberts and Graham Sutherland.
