Here are a couple things you need to know about The Screwtape Letters. First, it’s satire. The Screwtape Letters is a collection of letters written from a senior demon to a demon-in-training about how to trip up the Christian man he is assigned to. As you read, remember that “the Enemy” means God, “Our Father” refers to the Devil, and you’ll have to maintain this mindset to understand the book (which seems really backwards, we know). Second, the book is fictional—it doesn’t relay a real conversation between demons. While it relays biblical truth very well, it does so creatively. Lewis himself says, “Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar. Not everything that Screwtape says should be assumed to be true even from his own angle.” This piece of literature is so valuable to us as we think about spiritual warfare. Through it, C.S. Lewis exposes the temptations we face in nearly every area of life—in church, relationships, food, prayer, family, suffering, and more.
Special Note: This article from The Gospel Coalition, written to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the publishing of The Screwtape Letters, will explain what inspired C.S. Lewis to write The Screwtape Letters and will further motivate you to read it!
Encouraging: You might not expect an exchange between demons to be encouraging, but this one is! As you hear the demons talking about the inevitable victory of the Lord and his people, the character of God, the care he has for his people, and the power available to believers, you will be encouraged! You will realize that the powers of darkness are fighting a battle they have already lost, and those who have faith in Christ are on the winning team.
Light: By light we don’t mean shallow, or that it’s a breeze to read. By light we mean this book is spiritually light. Somehow it makes the demonic less scary, because Lewis writes in a way that highlights the power of God, the overwhelming love of God for the believer, and the assured victory of those who belong to Christ. We found that after much reading on spiritual warfare, this book felt refreshing.
Worship-Inspiring: This book will help you think well of the Lord. This book implicitly teaches us so much about the Lord’s will and desires for his people. It says some wonderful things about God, his intentions, and what he’s really like. If you know your Bible, you will find this book to be thoroughly biblical. And if you don’t know the Bible well, let us assure you that the reflections here are deeply grounded in the truths of God’s Word.
Illuminating: As the devils talk about the ways of man, the ways of darkness, and the ways of the Lord, you will have so many, “Oh my, that’s so true!” moments, and will find the book to be illuminating for your own life. This book pulls back the curtain on the spiritual dimension of our relationships, thought processes, and attitudes.
Enjoyable: You will enjoy reading this book. You will highlight quotes, and perhaps text paragraphs of it to friends. It touches subjects that relate to anyone at anytime, anywhere.
Clive Staples Lewis (C.S. Lewis) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He served in the British army during World War I, authored over 30 books, taught at Oxford and Cambridge, and talked on radio broadcasts during World War II. He authored The Chronicles of Narnia, one of the most beloved series in children’s fiction.
