The battle between good and evilmdashin both the

seen and unseen worldsmdashwas clearly at play

in the era of C S Lewis and his friends in the

Oxford literary group the Inklings Some of the

members of the Inklings carried physical and psy-

chological scars from World War I that led them

to deeply consider the problem of evil during the

dark era of World War II

Among the Inklings Lewis was at the forefront

of writing on human pain devilry and the

supernatural with books like The Screwtape Letters He provides the main focus of this book with

Tolkienrsquos The Lord of the Rings trilogy as another

rich resource looking into the World War II era

and beyond Particularly focused in the context of

wartime Duriez delves into the interplay between

good and evil enlightening us to the way of

goodness and the promise of a far country

The years when Lewis lived through

World War I and then World War II

provided startling insight into his preoc-

cupation with devilrymdashthe powers of

evilmdashand goodness His differing expe-

rience of the global wars both unprec-

edented in history before the twentieth

century represent a quest and a growth in

Lewis as thinker writer and storytellermdash

and as a person It now seems natural to

us for a book like The Screwtape Letters to be

begotten during a war that is to us a typi-

cally modern all-out conflict Many wars

now seem to be in words now common

to brave journalists at the scene ldquoof bibli-

cal proportionsrdquo or ldquoapocalypticrdquo What

remains surprising indeed remarkable

is that Lewis seemingly without effort

could approach this subject with humor

and biting satire without alienating his

readers even today by diminishing the

horror of evil and human suffering

ldquoNobody knows more about the respective canons

of C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien or their

collaborative friendship than Colin Duriez and

he puts his erudition to work in this new volume

that explores and elucidates the shadow of evil in

their respective literary works Those looking for

contemporary insights into the source and problem of

evil need look no further than Bedeviledrdquo

mdashBruce L Edwards author of Not a Tame Lion

ldquoWith his characteristic breadth of knowledge and

depth of insight Colin Duriez boldly explores

what C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien have

told us about the great cosmic battle between good

and evilmdashin their own wartime experiences and

especially in everyday life Together Lewis

Tolkien and Duriez raise the victory flag with high

courage wisdom and joyrdquo

The battle between good and evilmdashin both the

seen and unseen worldsmdashwas clearly at play

in the era of C S Lewis and his friends in the

Oxford literary group the Inklings Some of the

members of the Inklings carried physical and psy-

chological scars from World War I that led them

to deeply consider the problem of evil during the

dark era of World War II

Among the Inklings Lewis was at the forefront

of writing on human pain devilry and the

supernatural with books like The Screwtape Letters He provides the main focus of this book with

Tolkienrsquos The Lord of the Rings trilogy as another

rich resource looking into the World War II era

and beyond Particularly focused in the context of

wartime Duriez delves into the interplay between

The years when Lewis lived through

World War I and then World War II

provided startling insight into his preoc-

cupation with devilrymdashthe powers of

evilmdashand goodness His differing expe-

rience of the global wars both unprec-

edented in history before the twentieth

century represent a quest and a growth in

Lewis as thinker writer and storytellermdash

and as a person It now seems natural to

us for a book like The Screwtape Letters to be

begotten during a war that is to us a typi-

cally modern all-out conflict Many wars

now seem to be in words now common

to brave journalists at the scene ldquoof bibli-

cal proportionsrdquo or ldquoapocalypticrdquo What

remains surprising indeed remarkable

is that Lewis seemingly without effort

could approach this subject with humor

and biting satire without alienating his

readers even today by diminishing the

horror of evil and human suffering

ldquoNobody knows more about the respective canons

of C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien or their

collaborative friendship than Colin Duriez and

he puts his erudition to work in this new volume

that explores and elucidates the shadow of evil in

their respective literary works Those looking for

contemporary insights into the source and problem of

evil need look no further than Bedeviledrdquo

mdashBruce L Edwards author of Not a Tame Lion

ldquoWith his characteristic breadth of knowledge and

depth of insight Colin Duriez boldly explores

what C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien have

told us about the great cosmic battle between good

and evilmdashin their own wartime experiences and

especially in everyday life Together Lewis

Tolkien and Duriez raise the victory flag with high

courage wisdom and joyrdquo

The years when Lewis lived through

World War I and then World War II

provided startling insight into his preoc-

cupation with devilrymdashthe powers of

evilmdashand goodness His differing expe-

rience of the global wars both unprec-

edented in history before the twentieth

century represent a quest and a growth in

Lewis as thinker writer and storytellermdash

and as a person It now seems natural to

us for a book like The Screwtape Letters to be

begotten during a war that is to us a typi-

cally modern all-out conflict Many wars

now seem to be in words now common

to brave journalists at the scene ldquoof bibli-

cal proportionsrdquo or ldquoapocalypticrdquo What

remains surprising indeed remarkable

is that Lewis seemingly without effort

could approach this subject with humor

and biting satire without alienating his

readers even today by diminishing the

horror of evil and human suffering

ldquoNobody knows more about the respective canons

of C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien or their

collaborative friendship than Colin Duriez and

he puts his erudition to work in this new volume

that explores and elucidates the shadow of evil in

their respective literary works Those looking for

contemporary insights into the source and problem of

evil need look no further than Bedeviledrdquo

mdashBruce L Edwards author of Not a Tame Lion

ldquoWith his characteristic breadth of knowledge and

depth of insight Colin Duriez boldly explores

what C S Lewis and J R R Tolkien have

told us about the great cosmic battle between good

and evilmdashin their own wartime experiences and

especially in everyday life Together Lewis

Tolkien and Duriez raise the victory flag with high

courage wisdom and joyrdquo
