Rudolf Otto, a prominent German Lutheran theologian and philosopher, is known for his concept of the numinous, a profound emotional experience central to world religions. Initially focused on liberal Christian theology, Otto later defended religion against naturalist criticisms and viewed his work as part of a science of religion that includes philosophy, history, and psychology of religion. His influence in the early twentieth century as a scholar of religion remains significant, shaping the understanding of spirituality and religious experiences.
