Brown's theory of tradition stands on its own as a significant contribution to the academic study of religions, but it also provides the framework for a challenging critique of contemporary American theologies—conservative, liberal, and radical — and the basis for a novel understanding of the significance of the racial/ethnic, feminist, and class-identified theologies now emerging.
