THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS
" In this witty and profound
book Mr. Lewis has written the
most vital restatement ofreligious
truths produced in our time, and
he has found a brilliantly original
form in which to do it. At every
point these letters reveal a pene
trating understanding ofgood and
evil, and I do not hesitate to
compare Mr. Lewis's achievement
with Pilgrim's Progress."
-WoJ.TURNER in TheSpectator.
"An excellent book, hard
hitting, challenging, provoking.
I have marked a dozen passages
for quotation."
- L. A.G. STRONGinTheObserver.
"Mr. Lewis has written, from
an angle altogether original and
surprising, one of the wittiest,
most penetrating and most in
structive expositions of Christian
teaching that has appeared for
manyyears." -TheChurch Times.
"It is quite impossible, within
the limits of this review, to do
anykind ofjusticetoabookwhich
will most certainlybecome a great
religious classic. It will be a rich
mine ofsuggestion and enlighten
mentfor many." -TheRecord.
" As originalasitis brilliant."
-The Universe.
" The book is a perfect joy and
should become aclassic."
-The Manchester G1I4rdian.
" Brilliantly successful."
