Monday, Sept. 25 ~ Screwtape Letters 10 & 11

Go over J11.

Journal 12 ~ Letters 10 & 11
Letter 10
1. Clever, slightly sophisticated intellectuals especially fashionable during WW II were “just right” for diabolical use. How would they be a snare for Wormwood’s patient?
2. What social set would be just the right tool for a tempter to use on you?
3. How is it that the diabolical use of peer pressure can turn us into first-order hypocrites?

Letter 11
1. Wormwood receives detailed instructions on laughter. What is there about joy and music that is so detestable to Screwtape?
2. Screwtape doesn’t much care for fun either. Hos can fun be an aid to spiritual growth?
3. Of the four types of humor, Screwtape prefers jokes and flippancy. What is flippancy, and how does Screwtape find it useful? How is it that a joke can be a means of justifying bad behavior?
