The infernal strangeness of The Screwtape Letters is the secret to its immediate success and status as a living classic. The peculiar upsidedownedness is also what can make reading and teaching Screwtape a challenge. With unyielding clarity, William O'Flaherty steadies the reader's hand without over-dissecting the text and murdering its delights. This Handbook allows C.S. Lewis's enigmatic demonic correspondence to become a resource for carefully developing the capacities of the reader's spiritual imagination.

I don’t know anyone better qualified than William O’Flaherty to provide a guide to anything by C. S. Lewis. Anyone who knows his podcast, All About Jack, knows that William eats, drinks, and breathes C. S. Lewis. The Handbook offers a reliable glossary and interpretive map for navigating one of Lewis’s most imaginative and illuminating works.
