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. \u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshitsugu Sawai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350259470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350259478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Yoshitsugu Sawai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069637849343,"sku":"9781350259478","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_63a337b8-e5ab-4dfc-8f45-a52a612bc810.jpg?v=1685425716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rudolf-otto-and-the-foundation-yoshitsugu-sawai-9781350259478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
