Welcome to this second episode of The Screwtape Letters. In this episode, Rhea and Shari continue their discussion of the loose narrative of the letters, the continued efforts of Screwtape and Wormwood to lure the Patient toward their “Father” and what is at the heart of this conflict—that is, love. This is where they center much of their discussion: what is love? What is it’s opposite? How is C. S. Lewis employing language, metaphor, and motif to help us understand the demon world’s utter confusion over God’s motives for acting as He does toward humans?
