In this paper, I have attempted to interpret and analyze the
concept and picture of God as has been propounded in 'The Idea of
Holy' by Rudolf Otto. This book was written 1923, yet still it is
acknowledged as one of the authoritative treatises on the conception of
God. The author has mainly focused on the monotheistic paradigm
model of the transcendent reality which he calls the wholly other. His
approach is well knitted in accordance with the ethos of modernity
which started in religion with Protestant religious movement.
Therefore, his approach is experiential not evidential. He is more
concerned with the experience of the dreadful encounter with God
which he calls numinous experience. But this view presents a one
sided approach to God. Religion is not simply a matter of feeling it is
also a form of life - a tradition we live in.
Knowledge of God could be achieved through many sources. It is a
mistake to base the talk of God merely on numinous experience. This
problem has been examined in this article with sympathy and better
appreciation of the issues related to the numinous consciousness as has
been discussed in this book.
