Lindbeck answered the question of how religious doctrines should be addressed with cultural-linguological theory. His approach to religions is a product of different cultures and languages, and the common experience and similarities between religions have been rejected. One of the distinctive characteristics of cultural-language theory is that it has brought the principle of incomparability between religions. The transition between the religions has been destroyed. This new commentary brought by Lidnbeck has also launched a new stream in the theological discussions of religions. In this approach, also referred to as postliberalism or particularism (particularism), a completely opposite approach to the philosophy of multiplication focuses on the differences of religions This article introduced Lindbeck's cultural-linguological theory and analyzed the place in the theology of religions and the impact on the basic discussions in theology of religions. Finally, Lindbeck’s theory has been criticized and Lindbeck’s standing on differences is seen as a significant development in the real sense of understanding the differences of other religions, although there are problems that it has brought. Among these problems, first of all, religions can be imprisoned within certain limits and inter-religious interaction or dialogue can be meaningless. Another problem is that they present religions as a monolithic phenomenon and ignore both the different approaches in any religion and the fact that religious interpretations affect each other as a historical reality. Finally, the cultural and linguistic theory of Christianity for the purposes of preserving its distinctive characteristics has also threatened the idea of the universality of religions.

Since Race offered his three-fold typology, exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism have become central approaches within the discussion of the theology of religions. While theologians have been discussing which approach is better than others, Lindbeck’s cultural-linguistic challenged three-fold typology and brought about a new dimension into the theology of religions. In so doing, Race’s threefold typology became insufficient to explain diverse approaches, and for that reason, some theologians have added the fourth category into this typology.
