Produktinformationen zu „The Screwtape Email (ePub)“
This book is darkly funny as it explores temptation in the classic tradition of satire. Dark as the subject may be, however, grace overcomes evil. That victory leads to hope.For the purposes of this book, the discovery of Screwtape's email correspondence continues to be a mystery. However, this email adds insight into Screwtape, the supervisor of demon tempters. Screwtape treats the apprentice tempters in the same way that Mr. Wilson treats Dennis the Menace. He has to operate on several levels to maintain his position, his wicked schemes and his ambition. References to his supervisor, Beelzebul, are found in Matthew 10:25; Matthew 12:24-27; Mark 3:22 and Luke 11:15-19. Flaming is the practice of sending resentful comments to an insensitive person who has violated customary practices on the Internet. When someone is flamed, the words that are in capital letters show what is being screamed at the person.Black Hole is a term used in physical science, and it refers to the stripping away of all qualities as an object enters it. Figuratively, it means the loss of all memories of who and whose we are, so that we forget and we are forgotten. The gravity in a physical black hole is so strong that nothing can come out of it, not even light. The Light refers to the Light of the World and this Light overcomes darkness. (John 1:4-5) In near-death experiences, people have reported seeing a welcoming light, sometimes at the end of a tunnel.A warning is in order. Since he is a self-important, bumbling and unfeeling wet blanket, the reader should not be surprised that Screwtape is not nice. Still, what else would be expected of such a demon? He is seeking the greatest harm for the greatest number of human beings. In addition, Screwtape may pull the wool over our eyes about ideas and facts. Therefore, the reader should not assume that what is said here is true, for false statements are of no concern for an agent of the father of lies.ReviewsI enjoyed very much the email messages from Screwtape.You keep very well in the spirit of Lewis, but youalso address many of more recent currents of theculture and the ways in which people are enticed offcourse. I think that Lewis would recognize your workas an effective continuation of his own.W.A.K. in North CarolinaI enjoyed reading it. I had read The ScrewtapeLetters by C.S. Lewis and this book brings itup-to-date.A.S.E. in IllinoisIt contains timeless truths as well as refearences tocurrent events.C.E. in IllinoisIt was fun to read and I got a lot out of it.R.D.S. in VirginiaTHE SCREWTAPE EMAIL chases the reader from one humansituation to another with a great diverse collectionof metaphors to illustrate. The first response is,'Ah, I don't do that.' But immediately the nextthought is, 'Well, maybe I do!' The use of hyperbolesturns human foibles into humor, so we can endure theimages of ourselves, while at the same time itprovides a serious warning to beware tricks of theTempter.-M.A.O. in North Carolina
