C.S. Lewis Screwtape Letters Review

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

If you’ve ever even read a Christian book, odds are that you’ve heard of C.S. Lewis.

The author of several popular books, including his lauded Mere Christianity, Lewis has long been known for providing readers with entertaining and stunning works of literary genius. One of his more popular books is The Screwtape Letters.

Rather than provide a simple narrative, Screwtape is unique because it is written to look like a series of letters.

The story focuses on the relationship of two demons, Screwtape and his nephew Wormwood.

As an elder demon, Screwtape is given the task of showing his nephew how to be a tempter.. A tempter is a demon that is credited for causing a human to stray from a Godly life and enter into the world of sin. Think of the snake that tempted Adam and Eve..

Wormwood is just starting to learn this new job, and must try to coerce the Patient, who is his test subject, into committing several sins and turning his back to God..

Showing his impatience, Wormwood is determined to make the Patient commit horrible, gaudy acts while Screwtape prefers the traditional slow fall approach. This creates a conflict between the two because Screwtape feels that the longer approach is more challenging and poetic, while Wormwood is too focused on the flashy victory.

I feel that C.S. Most impressively, Lewis was able to use his narrative as a way of describing how difficult the life of a Christian can be with the various stumbling blocks that Satan tries to put in our way.

I really like the presentation of this book because it seemed as if I was reading a long lost journal rather than a planned out novel.

Lewis also manages to hit on a wide range of issues, including sex, pride, love and war. This gives him the chance to show readers the various struggles that Christians face, as well as those that humans deal with on a constant basis..

Once again, Lewis has shown his outstanding ability to give a powerful message while not coming off as a complete know-it-all..

If you’re a fan of C.S. Lewis or simply want to check him out, pick up Screwtape Letters CS Lewis and see why he is one of the best authors in history.
