C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters Review

Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today I bring you a video review of C. S. Lewis's epitstolary novel, The Screwtape Letters. Unfortunately my video editor is currently refusing to work, so I haven't been able to edit as I normally would. I still wanted to put this up for you in the meantime, so please bear with me as I fix this issue in future videos. Have a wonderful weekend! C. S. Lewis works mentioned: The Screwtape Letters (1942) Mere Christianity (1952) The Great Divorce (1945) The Four Loves (1960) The Abolition of Man (1943) Till We Have Faces (1956) Quotations mentioned from The Screwtape Letters: ‘Fun is closely related to Joy’, and joy ‘promotes charity, courage, contentment, and many other evils’. 'Let him think of [Humility] not as self-forgetfulness but as a certain kind of opinion (namely, a low opinion) of his own talents and character. Some talents, I gather, he really has. Fix in his mind the idea that humility consists in trying to believe those talents to be less valuable than he believes them to be…By this method thousands of humans have been brought to think that humility means pretty women trying to believe they are ugly and clever men trying to believe they are fools'. This allows the demons, Screwtape adds, to ‘have the chance of keeping [humans’] minds endlessly revolving on themselves’. Note: I got confused with Mere Christianity, that is the Lewis book that was originally a series of radio talks!
