Summary/Abstract: Pluralistic theology of religions seeks to assert itself as a new paradigm that has to overcome dogmatic and worldview differences among world religions and thus enable pluralistic unity whose main thesis is that all religions are equally valid paths of salvation. Many representatives of the pluralistic theology of religions refer to Paul Tillich as the proclaimer of pluralist paradigm relying on his last book “Christianity and the Encounter of the World Religions”. This paper provides an overview of Tillich theology of religions as it is represented in the “Christianity and the Encounter of the World Religions”, and examines how it is substantially and meaningfully different from the previous Tillich’s work, as well as whether Paul Tillich can be regarded as emissary of the pluralistic theology of religion.
