Turning to Faith: Religious Coping and Professional Help-Seeking in the Black Community. With a Focus on Black Pentecostal Churches

Completed the literature review and attached the review manuscript plus its conceptual pathway diagram. The review synthesizes 60 distinct academic works (5,023 words) and distinguishes evidence specific to Black Pentecostal churches from broader Black church and Black community studies. It includes a historical account, methods and evidence limits, thematic synthesis, study-comparison table, methodological critique, research gaps, and conclusion.

The review is based on academic database abstracts and indexed excerpts rather than newly retrieved full texts, so findings are kept within what those records report. The main limitation is that direct evidence on Black Pentecostal congregants remains much thinner than broader evidence on African American churchgoers.
