Winter Book Study - The Screwtape Letters

Expand

Our book study is in full swing. We are currently reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, which Pastor will be leading. It is a Christian apologetic novel dedicated to J. R. R. Tolkien. It is written in a satirical, epistolary style and while it is fictional in format, the plot and characters are used to address Christian theological issues, primarily those to do with temptation and resistance to it. If you are interested, please sign-up at the table. There will be a morning and evening study.
