Abstract

The article presents the history of theological and religious research conducted at the Institute of Fundamental Theology, Faculty of Theology of John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. In particular, it highlights the contribution of the Institute’s employees to contemporary theological and religious research questions as well as presents their publication output. The main research achievements include: the innovative association of the concept of religion and its theologically understood truthfulness with its genesis (the theory of the revelatory origin of religion); the original concept of theology of religion as an interdiscipline; the possibility to justify the plurality of religion de iure while maintaining the unique status of Christianity among the world religions; the close relationship between the theology of religion and fundamental theology in justifying this uniqueness, especially in discussions with representatives of the pluralist-relativistic theology of religion.

Keywords:

theology of religion, the concept of religion, revelatory genesis of religion, pluralism of religion, Christianity vs non-Christian religions
