What in hell is the devil up to? Netherworld Ways suggests some
very serious answers. It stands in the tradition of C.S. Lewis'
classic The Screwtape Letters and Peter Kreeft's The Snakebite
Letters. Lewis' purpose was to portray how Lucifer works to subvert
human souls. While Lewis was serious in his intent, he used a comic
style that is at once engaging and winning. Kreeft's work has a
somewhat different focus, one reflected in his book's subtitle,
Devilishly Devious Secrets for Subverting Society as Taught in
Tempter's Training School. His focus concerns how the tempter works
to undermine and subvert humanity on a societal and cultural scale.
Netherworld Ways takes the story a step further to consider the
nature and condition, the ways, of a world in which Satan achieves
pre-eminence.
Margaret Fell was one of the early converts of George Fox-a woman
who more clearly understood Fox's dynamic experience and
understanding of the original Christian gospel than anyone else. It
was Margaret who quickly turned her estate into a key communication
and support node for the growing Quaker movement. It was she who
fostered a Quaker community on her estate at Swarthmore Hall. And
it was she who, twenty years after her convincement and fifteen
after her widowhood, became Fox's helpmate in marriage and
co-partner in ministry. To dismiss her would be to dismiss one of
the key female founders of early Quakerism.
