Author: C.S. Lewis
Publication Date: 1942
At the encouragement of my father-in-law, who has a wonderful collection of Christian books of a more fundamental kind, I chose, among others, this short, much lighter piece by C.S. Lewis. Here, the butt of the joke is not the unbeliever, so much as it is those more desired by both God and the devil, the supposedly devout Christians. Through master tempter Screwtape's letters to a demonic novice, Lewis brilliantly exposes the ways in which even those most pious can fall victim to the devil's lure of pride, avarice and impurity. Hidden within a seemingly light-hearted satire about the whims and weaknesses of Man, God and the Devil battle it out for the souls of His children in what gradually becomes a remarkably clever and insightful exposition on the Christian virtues, their precarious road and the abundantly complex love of God for mankind.
