The Screwtape Texts: A Devil’s Dialogue with His Temper in Training by Deacon Timothy J. Stevenson

The Screwtape Texts: A Devil’s Dialogue with His Temper in Training by Deacon Timothy J. Stevenson

The Screwtape Texts: A Devil’s Dialogue with His Tempter in Training make The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis accessible to a whole new generation of readers.

In this book and study, Lewis’ classic work has been reimagined in text-message format as a dialogue between a senior demon and his student.

Wormwood, the tempter in training, makes comments and asks Screwtape questions, which sometimes get him into trouble. His questions bring additional clarity to the reader, who is not meant to see the strategies and tactics used by the devil against them.

This translation expands the scope of weapons used against the “human vermin” to include things like smartphones and other distractions.

Each series of text messages (letters):

  • Points out spiritual warfare tactics used by the devil
  • Provides relevant Scripture and Church teaching
  • Offers counterattack strategies to use against the devil’s tactics
  • Includes thought provoking reflection questions for individual and small group studies
