Lewis skillfully combines theological reflections with elements of fiction, making the work not only instructive but also engaging. Critics also emphasize that The Screwtape Letters provoke thought on moral and ethical questions, as well as the nature of evil and good. This work is often regarded as one of the best in the genre of Christian apologetics.
