About Moses In Pharaoh's House: A Liberation Spirituality
Product Description Moses in Pharaoh's House: A Liberation Spirituality for North Americans John J. Markey North Americans are enslaved by a false sense that self-centered idealism is morally good and necessary for achieving the common good. Moses in Pharaoh's House: A Liberation Spirituality for North Americans explores how those living inside the oppressive structures of the First World can be freed from false ideologies to achieve personal and socio-political conversion. Using the story of Moses and the Exodus, the book presents a spirituality of conversion for the privileged and develops a connection between the liberation of the oppressed and conversion of the privileged. Review In Moses in Pharaoh's House, John Markey provides us a deft pathway out of Pharaoh's house-moving toward a more authentic and engaged spirituality for North Americans that addresses both the oppressive elements of our culture and the consequences those elements have for other people around the world. Its analysis of what walls us in and keeps us from a more genuine Gospel living is incisive and insightful. A must-read for those who seek liberation from what ails us and who want to create greater global solidarity. Robert Schreiter Catholic Theological Union Amidst the world's increasing social, cultural, and economic disparities, the preferential option for the poor is one of the most important and challenging theological articulations of the last century. By and large, however, this perspective has emerged from just about everywhere but North America. John Markey's brilliant reflection, Moses in Pharaoh's House, makes an enormous contribution to the existing literature and reminds us of the universal call to liberation. His clear, concise, and penetrating insights offer much to our understanding of what it means to be human before God and how we respond to the gift and challenge of Christian faith. As Markey identifies the walls that confine the human spirit and breaks down the dualisms between "us" and "them," he names the divine call to love, service, connection, and mission. Offering a Gospel-based vision of authentic freedom and human solidarity, he helps us see that conversion is not just about individual change but also about social and communal transformation. As he reminds us that we cannot understand the mystery of our lives independently of the mystery of God, he also helps us see that we cannot understand who we are independently of our connection to one another, especially our neighbor in need.
