"Each letter is a masterpiece of reverse theology, giving the reader an inside look
at the thinking and means of temptation.If you've never read Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
is a great place to start."Amazon.com
"Lewis's satire is a Christian classic.[his] take on human nature is as on-target as it was when
the letters were first published in 1941."Library Journal
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its
sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed
assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C. S.
Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice
demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man. The Screwtape Letters
is the most engaging account of temptationand triumph over itever written. |
