It highligts esencials topics aiming at the understading of the author’s central idea: the sacred, as a compost and complex concept, has intrinsic relationship between its rational and irrational elements.

Also it makes considerations about the author's phenomenological and comprehensive approach of the holy, reaffirming the value of the irrational element in the idea of a transcendent God. In addiction it points out Rudolf Otto’s significant legacy for further researches about theology, philosophy and history of the religions.
