I know from Lewis's perspective, he called his work 'supposals', as in 'supposing this premise was true, here's how I believe it would play out'.

This is a really interesting book. I'm a theologically conservative Christian but I think there's plenty to be gained from Lewis's keen observation of human character even if you are irreligious.
I'm an atheist, and I think atheists tend to throw the baby out with the bath water. Christianity has thousands of years of Wisdom, and religions have more thousands of years. If an atheist is willing to adapt things to his point of view, there's so much good to be got from religious tracts.
This was a wonderfully entertaining piece I haven't read since high school. Thanks!

I attended a lecture given by Lewis's son about 2 years ago. He said a movie based on the Screwtape Letters was in the works. Wonder where that it is now, he seemed pretty confident about it.

Time for some trivia.

Tolkien and Lewis feuded over the latter's writing. In Tolkien's view, it was inappropriate for mere mortals to write fiction that was allegorical of the Christian faith.

I think pretty much all of Lewis's fiction is allegory, whether The Screwtape Letters, the Narnia stories or his 'science fiction' trilogy.

Didn't they both deny their works as allegorical? Although clearly they were.....two of my favorite authors ........Lewis was probably one of the most brilliant men of our time......

You'll have to wait awhile for live performances to resume but there is a theatre company performing a play based on this. https://fpatheatre.com/production...e-letters/
