These include the Black mainline churches; messianic-nationalist sects, such as the Nation of Islam; conversionist sects, such as the Holiness-Pentecostal groups and Primitive Baptists; and thaumaturgical sects, including the Spiritual churches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this new edition, the authors have incorporated research that has appeared since the book's original appearance in 1992 and have added two new chapters-\"African Religious Healing and Folk Medicine\"and \"African American Sacred Music\"-because of these topics' enormous significance to the African American religious experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans A.
