+1 That's a good book. I have a copy floating around here somewhere...
It's a very unusual book and does not read like your typical Christian book. I've heard it scares some people.
I like the end of the book. (Screwtape Proposes a Toast)
I was recommending this very book on another thread. It's a true classic.
That's from a quite different book. Are they packaging that in with the Screwtape Letters now?
The Screwtape Letters ends with the Christian subject dying and seeing God: "... he saw Him. This animal, this thing begotten in a bed, could look on Him. What is blinding, suffocating fire to you, is now cool light to him, is clarity itself, and wears the form of a Man."
I felt pity for Screwtape in his eternal separation from God at the same time that I felt a visceral disgust for him. An amazing bit of writing.
Thanks for sharing this. Not only is there great wisdom in this statement, I find it particularly responsible of him to forward this book with it.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.
know I slaughtered that. He had an amazing way with words. I've heard stories of good friends C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Token sitting at the pub over a beer. Who wouldn't want to have been sitting at that table observing those conversations?
I guess I butchered his name. I also guess you had to go by your first and middle initials to sit at their table at the pub.It was Tolkien, a devoted Christian, who got Lewis thinking about the possibility of God.
