In 1942 in the United Kingdom C.S. Lewis published his book, The Screwtape Letters. This book is filled with the deep contemplating and theology that Lewis incorporates into much of his work. Whether it is allusions that come from the Bible or the personification of demons, C.S. Lewis is undeniably a prolific and talented author. The Emanuel Church in Rochester believes that the Screwtape Letters have a different twist from normal Christian books as it is from the demon’s perspective. The Church

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a book of thirty –one letters in which a retired, senior demon named Screwtape coaches his newly educated nephew, Wormwood. Wormwood is quite troubled when it comes to tempting his “patient.” Nevertheless, he need not fear because faithful uncle Screwtape has offered his services. A unique character featured in the letters is, “The Enemy.” This character refers to God, the natural enemy of Satan. Of course Satan is referred to as “Our Lord.” In the letters,

Kristen Isles Professor Cootsona RELS 180 10/15/15 Midterm Paper I chose to do my research and reading on The Screwtape Letters written by C.S Lewis, which is a novel written in unique perspective of a Senior Devil named Screwtape who writes thirty-one letters to his nephew Wormwood who can be considered somewhat of a novice devil or demon of some sort. In these letters, as readers, we find that they are undated and that they are meant to offer advice to his younger demon nephew as he attempts to

The Danger Of Bias In Communication Picture this: you’re attempting to lift a heavy object, like a couch or a refrigerator, when you realize you can’t move it alone, despite how hard you may try. As you look around the room to see if there is anyone around who could help you lift this very heavy object, you notice a woman and a man, of about the same height and weight. Who do you ask for help? The average person, when asked this question, might respond by choosing the man. They might choose the

Preface There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. Letter 7 I wonder you should ask me whether it is essential to keep the patient in ignorance of your own existence. That question, at least for the present phase

an uncommon fact remains that he enjoyed reading and writing poetry. Although Lewis’s skills as a poet were not as fine-tuned as his narrative and fiction, he managed to create very thought provoking works with style and creativity.

In “The Scretape Letters” there are four main characters- Screwtape, Wormwood, “the patient,” and “the woman” The plot of the story is a description of the everyday work of a demon taking over the life of an average human. Throughout the story Wormwood, screwtape’s nephew, is attempting to acquire the soul of “the patient’ for the duration of his life. We see only

Anthropology can be simply defined as the study of human beings. How does the study of human beings play into The Screwtape Letters? Throughout the Screwtape Letters there is a great deal of craftiness on the part of Wormwood and Screwtape. Much of this craftiness is geared toward their assumptions of human nature. Screwtape believes that by exploiting the weaknesses of humans they can lead anyone to Hell. This turns out to be

although this quality is manifested in many different ways throughout the book. The devil knows that without the introduction of some form of theatricality and deception, human choices will, through the passage of time, inevitably lead man to God. The great irony of The Screwtape Letters also lies in this deception, since
