A Womanist Holistic Soteriology: Stitching Fabrics with Fine Threads is a construction of womanist holistic soteriology that is inclusive of many voices and perspectives and promotes communal responsibility. A soteriology that considers notions of personhood, theology, spirituality, and praxeology is holistic, inclusive, and grace-filled. This soteriological study begins with a historical overview of the development of notions of salvation beginning in ancient Egyptian thought and the concept of Ma’at—balance, wholeness, and moral ethics. Lahronda Welch Little conducts an exploration of the word “salvation” in different West African languages and reveals more expansive narratives around salvation that do not subjugate human beings, but rather encourage agency and celebrate the beingness of God’s creation. Grounded in womanist and Black feminist discourse and methodology, this rendition of womanist holistic soteriology holds notions of grace, agency, and spirituality by stitching together interviews with theologians, scholars, and practitioners, utilizing the philosophical concepts of binary complementarity and holism, and sharing what womanist holistic soteriology as praxis looks like in a communal setting.

In A Womanist Holistic Soteriology, Dr. Lahronda Little creatively and helpfully re-imagines a centerpiece of Christian teachin,g which has been too narrowly conceived and taught. Grounded in the scholarship, practices, and experiences of Black women, this exceedingly valuable book decolonizes 'salvation' and presents a crafting that includes and addresses the health and wholeness of all persons, in body, mind, soul, and spirit, while also offering communal health, inclusive of social holiness, together with environmental justice.
