What is The Screwtape Letters About?
C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters is a clever and insightful series of letters between a senior demon, Screwtape, and his inexperienced nephew, Wormwood. Tasked with corrupting a young man who turns to Christianity, Wormwood receives advice on temptation, deception, and spiritual struggle. Through wit and satire, Lewis explores human weakness, moral choice, and the strategies of evil—making this text as entertaining as it is profound.
