Marking it not-reading doesn't do it! Wren73 | Mar 4, 2022 | If I was a Christian, I think the Screwtape Letters would have meant more to me. As it is, I read it as a lesson in "calling yourself a Christian does not mean you are a good person," or "calling yourself a Christian doesn't actually make you a Christian." Which, sure. Perhaps this was groundbreaking in the 1940's? Lewis couldn't convince me of his other theory - that evil exists and motivates others. I believe that evil exists within people, and can very easily be expressed in small ways, even laziness, but Lewis couldn't convince me that there's an external Satan or evil force tempting everybody down that path. Which is why this falls apart for me. I can get behind the individual proofs of good and evil, I just don't buy the forces behind it. It was a good reminder of the ways that I am not as good as I could be and how laziness and apathy can hurt others, so there's merit to the Screwtape Letters if you think of morality at all - it just wasn't groundbreaking for me. I probably should have read this as a teenager. (  ) Tikimoof | Feb 17, 2022 | Case 13 shelf 4  semoffat | Sep 4, 2021 |
 "The devil," said Thomas More, "cannot endure to be mocked," and which, if correct, means that somewhere in the inferno there must be considerable annoyance.

On its first appearance, The Screwtape Letters was immediately recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology and has since sold more than a quarter of a million editions. Now 60 years old, it is stunningly repackaged to launch the Signature Classics range. A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world overwith 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. Dedicated to Lewis's friend and colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation - and triumph over it - ever written.
