The Screwtape Letters

Overview: http://Bibleweb.Info/Bibleweb.Info-The-Screwtape-Letters.pdf

The Screwtape Letters are purported to be letters from an administrative
functionary in Hell to his Nephew who is a front line tempter, trying to
gather in souls. It is filled with advice about how to make a Christian
turn away from God. Through it we see all the follies that man is heir
to and if we read closely we can find our way to being better Christians
and avoiding the usual pitfalls.

"The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of
Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn."
-Luther

"The devill . . the prowde spirite . . cannot endure to be mocked."
-Thomas More

Is that really a good idea?

Isn't there a warning in scripture against railing at spiritual
dignitaries irrespective of how evil they might be? What we should do is
only to invoke Jesus' authority over them as we give them a scriptural
command to return to their proper place.

Also, not every good Christian thinks so highly of those two popular UK
writers, Tolkien and Lewis. Dr. Stan and one of his recent guests
mentioned that the twain had never really given their lives to Jesus
Christ.
