The Screwtape Letters, epistolary novel by C.S. Lewis, published serially in 1941 in the Guardian, a weekly religious newspaper. The chapters were published as a book in 1942 and extended in The Screw-tape Letters and Screw-tape Proposes a Toast in 1961.
Written in defense of Christian faith, this popular satire consists of a series of 31 letters in which Screw-tape, an experienced devil, instructs his young charge, Wormwood, on effective strategies for tempting the human being assigned to him and making sure he continues on a steady path toward damnation. But confounded by church attendance and a faithful Christian woman, their efforts are defeated when their subject dies in a bombing raid with his soul at peace. Through his satiric use of the demonic narrative persona, Lewis examines the opposing sides in the battle between good and evil.
