Pints with Jack, season four, episode three.

The screw tape letters.

Preface.

Welcome, everyone.

Pints with Jack is your weekly C.S. Louis podcast, where David, Andrew, and I break down and

discuss the works of C.S. Lewis.

This season, we are eavesdropping on the correspondence of a senior demon screw tape

as he explains how to tempt the patient, a human assigned to his nephew, a demon named

Wormwood. Each week we'll be considering a different letter,

untwisting screw tape's hellish logic in forming a battle plan for our own spiritual lives.

And I'm excited.

We're diving into the preface now.

We are getting into the book.

But before we do, it's always fun to catch up a little bit.

What's everyone been reading in addition to screw tape?

I'm just starting two sets of seminary classes, and so in the last couple of weeks, I've been reading

New Testament, I've been reading homiletics, reading the Carol and Philip Zelisky book on the inklings,

and reading about romantic religion, and been delighted to revisit the essays presented to Charles

Williams.

So we're reading Tolkien's on fairy stories.

Lots of good stuff in there.

It's reading every day for me now.
