The Idea of the Holy

By: Rudolf Otto

Narrated by: Tyler Werkman

"It is essential to every theistic conception of God, and most of all to the Christian, that it designates and precisely characterizes Deity by the attributes Spirit, Reason, Purpose, Good Will, Supreme Power, Unity, Selfhood. The nature of God is thus thought of by analogy with our human nature of reason and personality; only, whereas in ourselves we are aware of this as qualified by restriction and limitation, as applied to God the attributes we use are 'completed', i.e. thought as absolute and unqualified. Now all these attributes constitute clear and definite concepts: they can be grasped by the intellect; they can be analysed by thought; they even admit of definition.." (Rudolf Otto - The Idea of the Holy)

In the spirit of James' "The Varieties of Religiou

Mispronunciations were frequent. Though a poor reading, still, a great treatise on religion, generally, and the numinous, in particular. Very much in the spirit of William James' great "The Varieties of Religious Experience."

Terrible Pronunication

Lots of foreign words at play, as in most philosophy. The pronunciation of pretty much everything that wasn’t standard English was pretty awful, and quite distracting. The reading was otherwise fine.
