Synopsis
Originally serially published in The Guardian during the Nazi blitz of London, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS takes the form of 31 letters written by a devil named Screwtape to his nephew Wormwood, giving advice on the means by which to make Wormwood's "patient" lose faith in God (referred to only as "the enemy"). For Screwtape, the road to hell ("our father's house") is paved not with great sins but rather with petty selfishness, pride, and self-satisfaction. Hell is imagined not as a grandiose inferno but as a insidious bureaucracy where the focus is always on the trivial, the slight, and oneself rather than the glory of God. A masterpiece of Christian literature that is also a delightful comedy, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS has remained one of C.S. Lewis's most beloved books.

Publisher's Note
A "Positively Diabolical" Correspondence "My dear Wormwood,... " So begins this product of C.S. Lewis's wickedly funny imagination, a correspondence between two devils, Screwtape and his young nephew, Wormwood. As the senior fiend advises his young apprentice in leading humanity astray, Lewis delves into questions about good and evil, temptation, repentance, and grace, offering knowledge and guidance to all who are trying to live good Christian lives.

Industry Reviews
"But though it was easy to twist one's mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The strain produced a sort of spiritual cramp."
Preface - C. S. Lewis

"Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way."
New York Times Book Review - Anthony Burgess

"Christians are turning again to a master of lucid apologetics whose religious imagination also encompassed fairy tales and space odysseys."
America - John B. Breslin
