For an interesting interpretation, see “The Screwtape Letters” by C. S. Lewis.

Peter Kereeft did and updated version called the Snakebite letters. Both are very good.

Screwtape's rage at the "patient"'s ultimate salvation:

"The degradation of it! – that this thing of earth and slime could stand upright and converse with spirits before whom you, a spirit, could only cower…He saw not only Them; he saw Him. This animal, this thing begotten in a bed, could look on Him!"
