Melissa Raphael presents a critical examination of the central
contribution to the twentieth-century concept of holiness made by
the German Protestant Rudolf Otto (1869-1937). Whereas Otto's work
has usually been studied from a phenomenological perspective, this
book is original in offering theological arguments for Otto's idea
of the holy becoming an anchor concept of contemporary theistic
discourse. This volume analyses the scholarly context that shaped
Otto's concept of holiness and, finding that the theological
significance of the latter has been overlooked, discusses the
relation of the numinous and the holy to the divine personality,
morality, religious experience, and emancipatory theology.
