 A Synopsis of the Screwtape Letters
The "Screwtape Letters" are friendly advice from this elder statesman to a front-line tempter on how to procure the soul of his "patient", a young Christian man just trying to live out his everyday life.
The urbane Screwtape informs him that, although this is an alarming development, his patient is by no means lost to the dark forces of evil.
We get the letters only from one side of the correspondence (Screwtape's), yet the story of the meanderings of the Christian "patient's" soul is clearly read between the lines.

 Reading Group Guide THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS by C.S. Lewis
Screwtape is also confounded by God's love for man, which he grants as real but irrational.
Much of the appeal The Screwtape Letters derives from Lewis's startlingly original reversal: telling a story about Christian faith not from a Christian point-of-view but from the perspective of a devil trying to secure the damnation of one's man's soul.
Over the course of The Screwtape Letters, the state of the patient's soul fluctuates as he experiences a conversion, doubt, dangerous friendships, war, love, and finally, in death, oneness with God.

 Amazon.com: The Screwtape Letters: Books: C. S. Lewis
In The Screwtape Letters, one of his bestselling works, we are made privy to the instructional correspondence between a senior demon, Screwtape, and his wannabe diabolical nephew Wormwood.
The Screwtape personae and dynamic - a knowing uncle and his eager, talented nephew - is the more palatable method than the stodgier series of lectures in "Mere Christianity." Both, of course, literate and keenly probing, but "The Screwtape Letters" draws us into the interior of satanic seduction.
The Screwtape Letters is written such that one feels as if he is reading a secret piece of correspondence.

 The Screwtape Letters
The book is written as a series of letters from an old devil, Screwtape, to his young tempter nephew, Wormwood.
I particularly enjoyed the advice that Screwtape gives Wormwood about tempting his human to concentrate on proclaiming himself a Christian rather than on the central tenets of love and charity.
The book concludes with an epilogue-like address entitled "Screwtape Proposes a Toast", in which Screwtape speaks to the recent graduates of a university that teaches new devils how to tempt humans.

This narrative takes the form of a series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged in his first mission on Earth, trying to secure the damnation of a young man who has just become a Christian.
The subject of the book is not only morality in the sense of good and evil, but the 'moral' in the sense of the human person, its integrity and well-being.
We have before us a series of letters from one senior devil to his nephew, a tempter lower in the infernal lowerarchy, written with subtlety but with crystalline lucidity as well.

The Screwtape Letters is a wonderfully creative classic of Christian literature, written by C.S. Lewis and dedicated to fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkein, his close friend.
It's a series of letters written by an old demon of Hell, Screwtape, coaching an apprentice demon, his nephew Wormwood, in his efforts to capture a man for Satan.
From the vantagepoint of Hell, God is "the Enemy", and the demons' goal is to fluster "the patient", spoil his heart, derail his piety and sour his soul, making it more palatable for Satan in the end.

 The Screwtape Letters
Screwtape’s epistles are instructions in temptation aimed at the corruption of Wormwood& human "patient." Speaking through his devils, Lewis creates a comic masterpiece of malicious wit and moral wisdom.
This ingenious little book consists of a series of letters written by one devil (Screwtape, an official in Satan’s "Lowerarchy") to another (Wormwood, Screwtape’s nephew, a junior devil on earth).
As the senior fiend advises his young apprentice in leading humanity astray, Lewis delves into questions about good and evil, temptation, repentance, and grace, offering knowledge and guidance to all who are trying to live good Christian lives.
