What if Screwtape Were Female? An Interview with Tilly Dillehay

from The Theology Pugcast · host The Theology Pugcast

Today the Pugs are pleased to welcome to the show Tilly Dillehay, author of My Dear Hemlock. Tilly has taken Lewis's ingenious book, The Screwtape Letters as inspiration for her book in which Madame Hoaxrot (a female Screwtape) instructs a junior temptress named Hemlock (her Wormwood) in the fine art of leading a young woman astray. It's a fun episode, and one with many reflections on the spiritual hazards that women find tempting. We hope you enjoy the show--if "fun" and "enjoy" can be thought of as the right words for such a diabolical subject.Order My Dear Hemlock at Canon Press:https://canonpress.com/products/my-dear-hemlockFind Tilly on the Home Fires Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/home-fires/id1530704128Support the Pugcast on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8Catch our documentary ‘A Pugcast Pilgrimage: Lewis, Oxford, and Our Postmodern Age’ athttps://youtu.be/7OYYuK2Y7d0
