bullet"Liberation from oppression is a good thing, and always worthy of celebration. But the writer of Exodus construes Israel's emancipation to include Egyptian subjugation. Today we would say that the horribly-oppressed became the new oppressor, except in this instance the writer insists that Hebrew revenge was the very act of Yahweh Himself."
bullet Commentary, (Maundy Thursday), Background, Insights from Literary Structure, Theological Message, Ways to Present the Text. Anna Grant-Henderson, Uniting Church in Australia.

bullet "Parsha Bo," Rabbi Arthur Waskow, The Shalom Center.
bullet"What seems to be an irresistible dominant power in the world -- whether it is a political/economic boss, ruler, corporation, or a personal addiction, obsession, is ONLY a garment of God, and whenever I can see thru the garment into the Divine glory at its heart, I can BEGIN to free myself."
bullet"Liberated by Law: Reflections on the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A," Perry Yoder. "Living the Word" from Sojourners Online, September/October, 1999.
bullet"Perhaps it is this other side, the underside of the liberation shekel, that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s salvation in Exodus. This God of Exodus, who saves the oppressed, is the God who judges the oppressor who will not let go."

bullet"Five star "best of the web" by Britannica Internet Guide (one of 40 out of 65,000 sites evaluated) -- 'A truly outstanding educational site. ...

bullet"Xodus Musings: Reflections on Womanist Tar Baby Theology," Garth Baker-Fletcher, Christian Theological Seminary. Theology Today, 1993.
bullet"As Tar Baby womanist theological reflection intentionally "dusts off " and puts back together again the dis-remembered fragments of the ancient African tar lady myth of community bonding and perseverance, so African American males are searching to uncover the shattered myths of humanity and "manhood" (here understood in its gender-specific sense) that may bring life-giving power."
bullet"The Exodus of the Spirit," Prof. E. Segal, University of Calgary.
bullet"For many Jewish thinkers over the ages the lessons of Passover and the Exodus were not exhausted in their historical memories. The central themes that dominate the holiday were seen as metaphors and symbols for many facets of individual human psychology and religious experience."
