For Otto, the numinous can be understood to be the experience of a mysterious terror and awe ( Mysterium tremendum et fascinans) and majesty ( Majestas) in the presence of that which is “entirely other” (das ganz Andere) and thus incapable of being expressed directly through human language and other media. Building on the work of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), Friedrich Schleiermacher (1772–1834), and Jakob Fries (1773–1843), Otto developed the concept of the numinous-a “category of value” and a “state of mind”-as a way to express what he viewed as the “non-rational” aspects of the holy or sacred that are foundational to religious experience in particular and the lived religious life in general. A particularly important example of such a structure is the concept of the “numinous” developed by the theologian and comparativist Rudolf Otto (1869–1397) in his work, The Idea of the Holy: An Inquiry into the Non-Rational Factor in the Idea of the Divine and its Relation to the Rational (1923). The contemporary academic study of religion has its roots in conceptual and theoretical structures developed in the early to mid-20th century. ![]() ![]() I wanted to talk about the stories I loved in a supportive, inclusive, and (halfway) articulate manner.

In the aftermath of Charlie’s sudden death, Vera is set adrift by grief, guilt and the uncomfortable realization that the people closest to her are still, in crucial ways, strangers. Vera and Charlie are lifelong buddies whose relationship is sundered by high school and hormones by the start of their senior year, the once-inseparable pair is estranged.
