Thanks for your thoughtful critique of womanist theology. I thoroughly agree with the first and third of your responses. They’re both familiar to me because they’re bedrock beliefs of Eastern Orthodoxy, the faith I now embrace. Your second response suffers from excessive literalism, which led you to make the astonishing claim that “there is no salvation in the blood of Jesus and never was.” The saving power of Christ’s blood is a non-negotiable part of Christian faith and piety, but needs to be interpreted in the framework of your first and third points.
