The Screwtape LettersThis extraordinary little book is a startling, unique, and powerful presentation of the old, old problem of the continuous battle for the soul of man between the insidious forces of evil and the triumphant forces of good. It consists of a series of letters written by crewtape (an important official in his Satanic Majesty's "Lowerarchy") to Wormwood, his nephew, who is a jounior devil on earth. The letters are instruction in temptation as to how to corrupt the faith of Wormwood's "patient", who is in danger of becoming Christian. he book sparkles with wit and reveals on every page a penetrating understanding of man's spiritual struggle upward toward the City of God. Its incisive turth, its scintillating style cry out for quotation. The reader will irresistibly find himself carrying it about, reading it to anyone who will listen. It is a perfect joy and should become a classic. |
