39 - The Screwtape Letters (feat. Emily Robinson)

Emily Robinson (My Brother, My Captain, My Podcast) joins the lads in Hell as they excavate the epistolary proselytizing and smug finger-wagging of C.S. Lewis’ scourge of YA reading lists everywhere: The Screwtape Letters. Topics include the rivalry between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, the rampant misogyny of Screwtape’s letters, and what it means to live your life in constant fear that you’ll one day be devoured by demons.

Loved this, Emily was great. Just an FYI that the patreon link you have for her podcast seems to be broken.

Great episode. On the subject of more highbrow evangelical texts, I would love a deep dive episode on Francis Schaeffer and specifically the influence of the film “Whatever Happened to the Human Race” on religious conservatives.
