Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyse the concept of religion as an expression of the Transcendence manifested to man, which is subject to different ways of conceptualisation. The article is in three parts. The first presents different ways of understanding transcendence ("above" and "below" the world, external and internal, vertical and horizontal, absolute being and the act of transcending human nature). The second part considers its nature (mysterious nothing, ultimate reality, moral value). The third part deals with the question of the revelation of transcendence (difference between revelation and manifestation, revelation in nature and history, the dialectical nature of revelation, its cipher and sign character).
