The question of the redemptive mediation of Christ is one of the key issues in dogmatic theology. One of the thinkers who presented the original concept of soteriology in modern times was Paul Tillich. This article presents his theory. In the first step, Tillich’s views on the question of historical Jesus will be presented. Then the concept of salvation as a victory over the conditions of existence will be analyzed. Finally, the issue of redemptive mediation in paschal events will be discussed. The conducted analyzes lead to the conclusion that it is impossible to separate Christology from soteriology, and it is also impossible to build theology without using the category of mediation.
