The Screwtape Letters. Was it mere satire or a stark warning? Dive deeper into the heart of C. S. Lewis's masterpiece with Confronting Evil in Our Time. This compelling exploration unveils how the "satire" label was shrewdly employed by publishers as a marketing tactic to broaden appeal and sidestep controversy in a skeptical era, masking Lewis's profound intent to deliver an urgent, prophetic caution against the subtle encroachments of evil in everyday life. Through meticulous analysis of historical context, Lewis's own correspondences, and theological insights, the book challenges us to reconsider Screwtape not as a light-hearted parody but as a timeless battle cry for spiritual vigilance. Join the conversation and arm yourself with fresh perspectives that could transform how you view temptation, morality, and the unseen forces at play in our world today, and see the shadows for what they truly are.
