Screwtape ate my homework!

by Allison Worthington on September 2, 2010

Blame him!

Because of my love of the Screwtape Letters my 11yo decided he wanted to use it for his book report. I loaned it to him last Friday. It is still. in. his. locker. So um yeah.

I’ve read the book so many times but don’t have the chapters memorized and I’m not even going to try to bluff my way through it. I found a Screwtape study disscussion guide and copied down some oh-so handy talking points from Chapter 2.

  • What is “the anticlimax” Lewis refers to?

  • What does Screwtape suggest happens to a Christian when they become less dependent on Emotions?

  • What does Screwtape mean by “parrot talk” on p.8? Matt 6:7

  • In what ways can church be an ally to the enemy?

It’s up to y’all this week. Take it away C.S. Lewis lovers!
