A Womanist Holistic Soteriology: Stitching Fabrics with Fine Threads is a comprehensive and inclusive approach to soteriology that embraces diverse voices and perspectives, promoting communal responsibility. This holistic and grace-filled soteriological study traces the development of notions of salvation from ancient Egyptian thought to the concept of Maat—balance, wholeness, and moral ethics. Lahronda Welch Little delves into the word "salvation" in various West African languages, uncovering more expansive narratives that do not subjugate human beings but rather encourage agency and celebrate the beingness of God's creation. Rooted in womanist and Black feminist discourse and methodology, this rendition of womanist holistic soteriology incorporates grace, agency, and spirituality through interviews with theologians, scholars, and practitioners, employing the philosophical concepts of binary complementarity and holism, and sharing what womanist holistic soteriology as praxis entails in a communal setting.
