The appeal of this book
Much of the appeal The Screwtape Letters derives from Lewis's startlingly original reversal: telling a story about Christian faith not from a Christian point-of-view but from the perspective of a devil trying to secure the damnation of one man's soul. Why is this strategy so effective? What does it allow Lewis to accomplish that would have been impossible in a more straighforward approach?

Lewis mentioned in the forward that this was one of the hardest things he had to do but I think having the narrative from the Devil's point of view gives more understanding of how the Devil thinks and of his strategem to gather his "minions".
