I'd love to have Otto's book in Logos, but would want the English translation, The Idea of the Holy.

    It's been almost 2 years.  Time to encourage this again.

    No, no, no !  We don't need to encourage this since it is a classic.  We need to encourage Logos to publish it.  [;)]  If I recall correctly, it might make a good Verso offering.

    Yes, this is a must!

    The Idea of the Holy by Rudolph Otto (Oxford University Press, 2nd edition, 1958). The first edition is out of copyright and has been reissued by print-on-demand publishers such as Forgotten Books. But I'd rather have the 2nd edition if you can get it. Probably has some corrections and such.

    No question about it. It's a classic and a must!

    Third-year bump.
