Human Nature: Greed, Gluttony, Pride… Oh My!
We will read one letter per week and then talking about the work utilizing questions provided by the C.S. Lewis Institute as well as the Vermilye study guide, supplementing each chapter with pertinent scripture passages.
In a New Yorker article (2013) entitled, "The Devil You Know", it has been said of The Screwtape Letters:
"For believers, the letters are theology in reverse, teaching the love of God through the wiles of the Devil, but for all readers, regardless of belief, the letters frame human experience as a familiar sequence of trials, from how you take your tea and what parties you attend to the sort of person you choose for a partner and the sort of politics you espouse. As Justice Scalia said when he invoked 'The Screwtape Letters,' 'That’s a great book. It really is, just as a study of human nature.' The novel remains wildly popular because whether or not you agree with Lewis and Scalia that the Devil is real, the evils promoted by Screwtape—greed, gluttony, pride, envy, and violence—most certainly are.”
Order your copy of The Screwtape Letters, if you don’t already have one, and plan to join us for what I guarantee will be timely, relevant, and deeply meaningful discussions of this amazing classic of Christian literature beginning on Tuesday, September 15th.
