New Adult Faith Formation Class - The Screwtape Letters
Sunday, September 4th
Beginning on September 4 in the Library, join us for an adult Faith Formation class six week study on C.S. Lewis’ book “The Screwtape Letters,” facilitated by member John Herrmann. You might ask “What the devil is with that weird title?” That would be a good choice of words. This insightful book consists of a series of letters written by Screwtape, one of “Our Father Below’s” (Satan’s) high-level assistants. With these letters, he attempts to instruct Wormwood, his young and inexperienced charge, with the finer points of human temptation, and how to achieve results in their goal of eternal damnation of their souls. Even if you’ve read the book, a “refresher” is always helpful in discerning the subtle but effective tactics Satan uses to achieve his devilish objective.
Copies of the book will be available at Rally Day and at the first class.
