Book Synopsis Autobiographical and Social Essays by : Rudolf Otto
Book excerpt: This collection of essays, introduced, selected and translated by Gregory D. Alles, aims to broaden the image of Otto available to English readers. It presents previously untranslated writings of Otto the politician, social commentator, and churchman. Also included are Otto's autobiographical reflections and a sampling from his late essays on ethics. In an informative introduction Gregory D. Alles outlines the discussions that Otto's ideas have evoked and traces the impact of Otto's thought on theology and the academic study of religions. He also examines criticisms of Otto's ideas and makes suggestions for future research.
