Rudolf Otto (1869-1937) is one of the foremost pioneers in the study of religion, and as a theologian, philosopher and phenomenologist of religion, he exerted a worldwide influence in his field.
Today, however, the position that Rudolf Otto holds seems less favourable. Many critics, especially in Germany, regard Otto s work, which moves freely between the disciplines of Theology and Religionswissenschaft, as lacking in methodological rigour.
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."
