The Screwtape Letters w/ Dr. Jerry Root

from Wade Center · host Wade Center at Wheaton College

These days, discussions about demons and temptation are an uncommon occurrence—at least sober ones. In this week's episode, Dr. Jerry Root sits down with Drs. Crystal and David C. Downing to discuss The Screwtape Letters (1942) by C.S. Lewis. What inspired Lewis to write this series of letters from Screwtape to his nephew. Wormwood? And what can we learn about ourselves, temptation, and the slow and gradual road to hell from this admittedly satirical, humorous, and somehow perennially relevant book?
