So begins one of the 20th century's most thought-provoking and theologically insightful epistolary works. Penned by the great C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters offers readers an inside look at the strategy of the evil one and, thus, a much needed reflection on how we can avoid temptation. His commentary highlights particularly effective methods for demons to cultivate vices in their human victims and stamp out good habits, all the while revealing the steadfast mercy and charity of the Triune God. Exploring public life, relationships, and prayer, among other topics, Lewis' narrator Screwtape, an esteemed assistant to the Evil One and master tempter, gives us chapter after chapter of astute observations of how man comes under the influence of the power from below.
Join us this Lent in diving deeper into this beloved classic and examining how these startling observations can assist us in rooting out vice and pursuing lives of true charity as we approach Easter.
