The Idea of the Holy - Rudolf Otto - Bog

The Idea of the Holy is a book written by Rudolf Otto and published in 1926. The book is an inquiry into the non-rational factor in the idea of the divine. Otto argues that the concept of the holy is distinct from other concepts of the divine and cannot be fully understood through rational thought alone. He explores the idea of the numinous, which he defines as a feeling of awe and fascination in the presence of the divine. Otto also examines the various ways in which the holy is experienced and expressed in different cultures and religions. The book has been influential in the fields of theology, philosophy, and anthropology, and has been widely read and discussed for its insights into the nature of religious experience.An Inquiry into the Non Rational Factor in the Idea of the Divine and its Relation to the Rational.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
