Summary/Abstract: Theoretical reconstruction of the dialogical concepts of culture in Christian theology in the second part of the twentieth and the beginning of the twentyfi rst century is conducted in the article. Concepts of culture are analysed among prominent Christian theologians such as Protestant theologians Paul Tillich and Lesslie Newbigin, Catholic theologians Jacques Maritain and Marko Rupnik, and Orthodox theologians Paul Evdokimov and Christos Yannaras. Common and distinct aspects of the concepts of culture are considered. It is affi rmed that in the second part of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-fi rst century the dialogical approach to culture existed in Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox theology. Central ideas of the dialogical concepts of culture are explored in this article.
