"This book provides an up-to-date treatment of Rudolf Otto and his work, placing him
in the context of comparative religion, theology, and the philosophy of religion.
Yoshitsugu Sawai shows how Otto has "three faces": the Lutheran Theologian, the Philosopher
of Religion, and the Comparative Religionist. The book also shows how, of these, Otto
saw himself primarily as a Lutheran Theologian, and provides an account of Otto's
engagement with India and the centrality that Hindu theology had on his thinking.
In Otto's theory of religion, his well-known concepts including "wholly other" and
"numinous" constitute a multiple structure of meaning. For example, his concept of
the "wholly other" (das ganz Andere) no doubt has the meaning of "God" in his Christian
theological studies. At the same time, however, from the perspective of comparative
religion or the phenomenology of religion, this same term semantically implies the
"ultimate reality" of other religious traditions; "Brahman" and "God" (Isvara) in
Hindu religious tradition as well as "God" in Christianity."
