Summary
Christian Kamleiter shows how Rudolf Otto's theory of religion is based on extensive reflections on the possibilities and limits of religious communication. He places a special focus on Otto's unpublished lecture on dogmatics and reconstructs how Otto's theory of religious communication is an actualization of concepts prefigured by Friedrich Schleiermacher.
