Exclusive: Interview With Julie Clawson, Author of The Hunger Games and the Gospel: Bread, Circuses, and the Kingdom of God
We have an exclusive interview with Julie Clawson about her book, The Hunger Games and the Gospel: Bread, Circuses, and the Kingdom of God.
Book Description (Amazon)
“The Hunger Games and the Gospel” explores these themes that have resonated so deeply with Hunger Games readers by examining their similarity to the good news found in Jesus’ message about living in the ways of God’s Kingdom. Taking the rich statements of the Beatitudes, which serve as mini-pictures of God’s dreams realized on earth as in heaven, each chapter reflects on how those pictures are exhibited both in the narrative of The Hunger Games, and in Jesus’ time, and then explores their significance for our own world. Readers are invited to allow the inspiration of The Hunger Games help them live in the ways of the Kingdom of God by discovering how they too can work towards to possibility of a better world.
