| Summary: | This article contributes to a deeper understanding of Christian patriotism in China by reflecting on the phenomenon from a pastoral-theological perspective and by considering the sociocultural meaning of patriotism in the Chinese context. Through three examples, the author analyzes different discourses of Christian patriotic identity, which represent a large specter of contemporary Protestant Christianity in China. She demonstrates that the phenomenon of Chinese Christian patriotism primarily concerns moral identity and is only secondarily a political issue. 本文从牧养神学的角度反思，并考虑爱国主义在中国背景下的社会文化意义，有助于更深入地理解中国的基督教爱国主义。作者通过三个例子，分析了基督教爱国身份的不同话语，这代表了中国当代新教的一大幽灵。她论证了中国基督教爱国主义现象主要涉及道德认同，其次才是政治问题。 |
