Summary/Abstract: In this work we intend to deepen the traces of some models of revelation in Paul Tillich. First of all, we will try to answer what models are for in theology in general, and especially in revelation as the essential theological concept. Next, we will bring to light the signs and means of revelation in the thinking of German-American theologian Paul Tillich. In the last step, we will try to offer a reading of the models or at least the traces of the models of revelation in Tillich. Considering that Tillich has never talked about the models of revelation, starting from some of his key concepts such as the symbol, the ultimate concern and the correlation between the question and the answer, we will try to highlight the models of revelation: the symbol, the answer, and the supreme end. Our attempt is not exhaustive, bearing in mind that perhaps some other model of revelation could be seen in the complex Tillichian theological system.
