A milestone in the history of popular theology, 'The Screwtape
Letters' is an iconic classic on spiritual warfare and the power of
the devil. This profound and striking narrative takes the form of a
series of letters from Screwtape, a devil high in the Infernal
Civil Service, to his nephew Wormwood, a junior colleague engaged
in his first mission on earth trying to secure the damnation of a
young man who has just become a Christian. Although the young man
initially looks to be a willing victim, he changes his ways and is
'lost' to the young devil. Dedicated to Lewis's friend and
colleague J.R.R. Tolkien, 'The Screwtape Letters' is a timeless
classic on spiritual conflict and the invisible realities which are
part of our religious experience.

This second of a two-volume work provides a new understanding of
Western subjectivity as theorized in the Augustinian Rule. A
theopolitical synthesis of Antiquity, the Rule is a humble, yet
extremely influential example of subjectivity production. In these
volumes, Jodra argues that the Classical and Late-Ancient
communitarian practices along the Mediterranean provide historical
proof of a worldview in which the self and the other are not
disjunctive components, but mutually inclusive forces. The
Augustinian Rule is a culmination of this process and also the
beginning of something new: the paradigm of the monastic self as
protagonist of the new, medieval worldview. In the previous volume,
Jodra gave us the Mediterranean backstory to Augustine's Rule. In
this volume two, he develops his solution to socialism, through a
kind of Augustinian communitarianism for today, in full. These
volumes therefore restore the unity of the Hellenistic and Judaic
world as found by the first Christians, proving that the self and
the other are two essential pieces in the construction of our
world.
