Is the Gospel for Women? A look at Margaret Atwood's _Handmaid's Tale_ and _Testatements_ (Clarke)

This talk looks at the wildly popular books - The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and The Testaments (2019) - by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The popularity of these dystopian novels has arisen alongside concerns and fears of what is seen as political and religious fundamentalist influences in the States and its potential impact on women's hard-won rights. Then we will see how the Bible and the gospel intersect with the questions the books raise, and ask if the gospel can be good news for everyone.
