ABSTRACT
This chapter brings together the arguments made throughout the book, reflecting on the relationships between prosperity Christianity and migrant inclusion, as shaped by particular experiences of religious trust-making, personhood, and sociality. It reiterates the central argument of the book: the prosperity gospel can provide a pathway to greater social and material inclusion for would-be citizens although this is often a fraught process that can simultaneously generate experiences of moral uncertainty and social fragility among believers. The concept of religious trust-making is central to this argument as it captures the ways in which prosperity Christians seek to build intimacy with God through social and material means. The chapter suggests that, more broadly, this framework highlights the importance for the wider sociological literature on migration and religion of considering not only theological specificities but also how theological tenets are simultaneously shaped by the embodied and everyday actions of believers within specific social contexts.
