Abstrakt

'Golden Rule Christianity' describes the character of American mainstream church life, including Second Baptist Church. It refers to faith that is expressed more by right practices than explained doctrines. Critics argue this is inadequate compared with traditional norms of Protestantism. Through interviews, group discussions, and reflection upon the lived theology of members, the author proposes that following the Golden Rule is a valid way to understand the Christian faith. Based upon Jesus' teachings and the work of John Macmurray, the development of right-relationships in the 'beloved community' is presented as the Christian ideal and principal objective of salvation.
