The Screwtape Letters Preface: Materialists & Magicians


Listen Later

In the preface of The Screwtape Letters, Lewis tells the reader that there are two "equal and opposite errors" that we can fall into regarding demons. One is to choose not to believe in their existence; the other is to believe and have an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. But most of us don't go worshipping demons... so what does that look like for us if we fell into either of those camps? Christina attempts to break down what is essentially a challenging warning as well as an invitation for how we might read these letters from one demon to another: letters that, while fictional, wrestle with real spiritual struggles.
