Rudolf Otto and the Synthesis of the Rational and the Non-Rational in the Idea of the Holy

Some Encounters in Theory and Practice.

Our starting-point is the Idea of the Holy, a category which comprises both the rational and the non-rational dimensions of religion. This provides us with a key to link Otto’s theoretical thinking with the practical initiatives in which he was engaged. Thematic parallels are suggested, firstly, between Otto’s work in Christology, and Liturgical Reform, and secondly, in relation to his thinking on ethics, and the establishment of the Religious League of Mankind.
