Praise for the Print Edition

C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half–convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.

—The New York Times Book Review

Apparently this Oxford don and Cambridge professor is going to be around for a long time; he calls himself a dinosaur but he seems to speak to people where they are.

—The Washington Post Book World

[The Screwtape Letters] show[s] Lewis’ ability to dramatize: to set forth an attractive vision of the Christian life, proceeding by means of character and plot to narrate an engaging story, everything colorful, vibrant, and active.
