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.

Little has taken perhaps the most complex theology—holistic soteriology, or more simply, salvation—and wrapped it in her grandparents' garden, giving us an experience using all our senses. She takes us into Africa, into the essence of womanist theology and wraps it all with a foundation in Wesleyan Theology. This book is a gift for the soul.
