Reviews

"Why get a new Screwtape Letters? I love the feel and look of this annotated edition. ...I love the addition of red ink inside this book for the notes. There are a couple of hundred helpful annotations that first-time and veteran readers will find intriguing." -- Read the Spirit"This book is sparkling yet truly reverent, in fact a perfect joy, and should become a classic." -- Guardian"Excellent, hard-hitting, challenging, provoking." -- Observer"C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way." -- New York Times Book Review"Apparently this Oxford don and Cambridge professor is going to be around for a long time; he calls himself a dinosaur but he seems to speak to people where they are." -- The Washington Post Book World"[The Screwtape Letters] show[s] his ability to dramatize: to set forth an attractive vision of the Christian life, proceeding by means of character and plot to narrate an engaging story, everything colorful, vibrant, and active." -- Christianity Today"C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational." -- Christianity Today

C. S. Lewis takes a very interesting perspective in tis book, writing letters from an affectionate and established professional devil in the field of human temptation to his beloved but inexperienced nephew, a young devil who has just recently entered the field. Told completely through these letters, the story unfolds of how the uncle constantly tries to correct the younger devil's foul-ups as the younger tries to corrupt his assigned human's soul. Through this arrangement, Lewis gives poignant comment on humanity, Christianity, and what is truly important. Written in an older English style, the grammar is at times hard to follow, but that only makes the reader concentrate more and therefore gain more from the story. A rewarding read, if not always enjoyable due to the effort.
