ABSTRACT
The conclusion sums up the book’s argument and discusses its implications for African American religious studies. Specifically, the chapter highlights two core contributions to African American religious studies that an analysis of Spiritual Churches’ politico-spiritual approach offers. First, attention to this symbiotic model provides researchers with an interpretative lens through which to view the social justice activities of African American religious traditions in general and African American churches in particular. Second, utilizing Spiritual Churches as a means to discuss the politico-spiritual model further diversifies the African American religious studies landscape.
