Mark Russ
Published in 1942, “The Screwtape Letters” is a satirical collection of letters from one devil to another. In this book group we will read C.S. Lewis’ “theological fantasy,” discussing together the thought-provoking insights lying beneath the comically demonic surface.
Through these letters, Lewis gives insights into Christian faith from the perspective of Hell, imagined as a vast, boring bureaucracy. Whether you are new to Lewis, or have read “Screwtape” many times over, this book group offers an opportunity to get deeper into the ideas which have made this book a classic of Christian popular thought.
Over the course of six live online sessions, you will discuss the book as part of a community of readers. By the end of the book group you will have a deeper appreciation of Lewis’ thought and writing. You will need access to a copy of “The Screwtape Letters” to take part in this book group. The book is still in print and readily available.
