The Screwtape Letters

On its first appearance, The Screwtape Letters was immediately.recognized as a milestone in the history of popular theology. Now,.in it’s 70th Anniversary Year, and having sold over half a million.copies, it is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power.of the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form.of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal.Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged.in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a.young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man.initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is.‘lost’ to the young devil. Dedicated to Lewis’s friend and.colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, The Screwtape Letters is a timeless.classic on spiritual warfare and the invisible realities which are.part of our religious experience.
