Screwtape Revisited...


Anyone familiar with C.S. Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" will appreciate this offering by Meghan Cox Gurdon in National Review Online.

In the face of so many "culture of life" issues in the news these days, Gurdon explores an updated vignette featuring the demon Screwtape as he counsels Mildew, the brother of the novel's failed demon-in-training Wormwood.

The commentary of the current euphemisms for cloning, abortion and euthanasia is particularly relevant. Even if you've never read the original Lewis work, you can get the gist Gurdon's column. A strong piece of writing.
