Welcome to this week’s episode of the Screwtape Letters podcast, where we’re exploring the themes of humility and pride in Letters 27 and 29 of CS Lewis’ masterpiece.
In Letter 27, Lewis shows us the danger of pride and self-importance, as Screwtape warns Wormwood of the potential downfall of the “patient” if he allows himself to become proud of his spiritual achievements. Screwtape argues that by inflating the “patient’s” ego, he’ll be less likely to see his own faults and more susceptible to the traps of the enemy.
In Letter 29, Lewis takes us deeper into the theme of humility, as Screwtape encourages Wormwood to use the “patient’s” false sense of humility as a means of leading him away from God.
