C.S. Lewis Goes To Hell

C.S. Lewis Goes to Hell by William OFlaherty is precisely as advertised. Part encyclopedia, part plot summary, part analysis, and part discussion guide, this book is a valuable resource for both an individual reader and for a small group interested in exploring in more detail Lewis satirical masterpiece.

A good study guide is surprisingly difficult: it must combine accuracy with imagination; it must be generative without being speculative. OFlaherty delivers. I am genuinely excited about this important resource.

Presenting The Screwtape Letters as a theatrical stage adaptation has had the wonderful benefit of inspiring hundreds if not thousands of theatre-goers to read Lewis classic novel. As a result we are often asked to suggest a study guide to help people wrestle more deeply with the themes and insights behind the brilliant, morally inverted universe that Lewis created. William OFlahertys thoughtful, copious and insightful volume is what I will be recommending to them. Its the best of its kind.

OFlahertys companion to Screwtape is seriously worth any Lewis lovers time, both for its penetrating study questions and its excellence as a reference tool.

Author of Light: C. S. Lewis First and Final Short Story

Once C. S. Lewis best-known work, The Screwtape Letters today has been somewhat eclipsed by The Chronicles of Narnia. For those discovering Screwtape for the first time, William OFlaherty provides clear summaries, useful background information, and helpful discussion questions. Anyone leading a small group study will find this to be a valuable tool.
