Description
C.S. Lewis wrote a newspaper column as a series of letters from a demon writing to his nephew training for his role as …well, a demon. Screwtape advises Wormwood how to best attack his “patient” — an unassuming young man — and his tactics aren’t what we’d expect. Tsh shares with Seth why she loves this book so much, why it’s still relevant (perhaps more?) today than it was when it was first published during the height of World War II, and why all of us need to read it. In fact, if you’re new to Lewis and want to give him a whirl, The Screwtape Letters is a great place to start. * Seth: Newsletter | Website * Tsh: Newsletter | Website * Pick up a round of drinks * Our recommended reads * Come to Ireland with Tsh! * Sing Hat Co. * Wilson Knives * Catechism in a Year podcast This is a public episode.
