孫中山作為一個活躍的基督徒是在十九世紀，而作為一個虔誠而偉大的基督徒形象存在，卻是在二十世紀特別是其去世後，這是中國基督徒尤其是自由派基督徒話語建構的結果。將一個遵循信仰教導帶領中國人擺脫異族和專制統治而邁向自由平等新中國的基督徒革命和國家領袖呈現出來。但這種建構並非孫中山基督徒身分的簡單再現，在國民黨借孫中山建構黨派權威之際，他們也充分的利用這個公共資源，打造政教合體的宗教孫中山－中國摩西或中國耶穌，通過對孫中山符號的創造性詮釋，實現與民族主義和革命意識形態的和解，以各種目的性書寫來達到自身的多重政治和宗教目標，作為重構自我宗教身分、政治認同和國家認同的一種方式。

Sun Yat-sen, an active christian in the 19th century, was established as a pious and great christian image in the 20th century, especially after his death. This was the result of the discourse construction of Chinese christians, especially liberal christians. Sun Yat-sen presented an image as a great christian revolution and national leader, who followed the teachings of faith and led the chinese to get rid of alien and autocratic rule and move towards a free and equal new China. However, such images were not a simple representation of the christian Sun Yatsen. When Kuomintang used Sun Yat-sen to establish party authority, chinese christians also made full use of this public resource to build Sun Yat-sen's religious image: chinese Moses or chinese Jesus. Their purposes were to effect a reconciliation with nationalism and revolutionary ideology through a creative interpretation, and to achieve their own multiple political and religious goals, and finally as a way to reconstruct religious self-identity, political identity and national identity.
