Summary/Abstract: The concept of a symbol has its meaning not only in epistemology and psychology but also in philosophy of religion. The reconstructed concept of a religious symbol, based on Paul Tillich’s understanding and compared with present achievements in the field, is current and interesting motive to investigate the phenomenon of religion. Tillich’s existential interpretation of the ontology-based symbol, makes it more understandable and open for contemporary man and world questions concerning religion. The structure of religious symbol, its use and interpretation make man – religion communication more comprehensive and clear.
