Screwtape on The Da Vinci Code

The Screwtape Letters has long been one of my favorite books. That probably reveals something about my character...although it's no surprise to those who know me well. I've always loved playing the role of "the devil's advocate." (Boy, that really sounds bad.) Over the years, many authors have tried to take up the mantle of C.S. Lewis and translate other missives of old Uncle Screwtape. The latest is Eric Metaxas in his essay Screwtape on The Da Vinci Code. He does a decent job, but no one will ever match the original. It's like someone trying to imitate Shakespeare. It's fun, but it never quite matches up. Still, it's an enjoyable read.
