Sinopsis

""The Idea of the Holy: An Inquiry into the Non-Rational Factor in the Idea of the Divine"" is a philosophical exploration of the concept of the divine and its relationship to human experience. Written by German theologian Rudolf Otto, the book argues that the experience of the divine is inherently non-rational and cannot be fully understood through reason alone. Otto proposes that the experience of the divine is characterized by a sense of awe and mystery, which he calls the ""numinous."" He argues that this experience is universal and can be found in all religious traditions, even those that are seemingly contradictory. The book also explores the role of ritual and symbolism in religious experience and proposes that these elements are essential to the numinous experience. Overall, ""The Idea of the Holy"" is a seminal work in the study of religion and continues to influence scholars and theologians today.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
