michael-pacher-saint-wolfgang-and-the-devil-c-1473-screwtape-e1513691260790.jpgFor today’s Friday Focus, I wanted to highlight a great resource blog post. It includes some background material about the writing and publishing of Screwtape, some early reviews, adaptations, pop culture references, and study resources. My work is referenced here, but there is so much more for those who are eager to dig into The Screwtape Letters.

About Brenton Dickieson

“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing. This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box. Brenton Dickieson (PhD, Chester) is a father, husband, friend, university lecturer, and freelance writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    Even if a reader doesn’t share the spiritual perspective of the author, Lewis has still written a spot-on commentary of the human condition.
