“How do we help free others when we are part of their problem? .  .  .  John Markey’s Moses in Pharaoh’s House helps us see more clearly the huge elephant inside the room of liberation theology and spirituality  .  .  .  with an empathy that invites conversion rather than sprays guilt. It also suggests some practical roads to take us forward.”

“John Markey’s brilliant reflection, Moses in Pharaoh’s House, makes an enormous contribution to the existing literature on the preferential option for the poor and reminds us of the universal call to liberation.  .  .  .  Markey identifies the walls that confine the human spirit and breaks down the dualisms between ‘us’ and ‘them.’ .  .  .  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.”

“[In Moses in Pharaoh’s House, John Markey] has created a work of compelling power and intellectual depth that asks people in the U.S. to experience the world in a radically different way. If Christians are to imitate Christ, then we,  .  .  .  must make choices in keeping with God’’s love for those at the economic and political margins of our world. Only then do we begin the dismantling of the walls of pharaoh’’s house.”

“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.”
