[Main Blog Post] [Book] Thoughts on The Idea of the Holy

I just wrapped up Rudolf Otto's The Idea of the Holy and decided to organize my thinking a bit with a post. As always, I'd love to hear what you think.

Good review. I've been a fan of Otto for several years. Thanks for mentioning the three kinds of silence. Lately, the idea that the numinous is beyond words (and even beyond "logic," from the Greek word for "word") has appealed to me. There are definitely opportunities for creative use of silence in religious rite.
