The 'Living God' Lie

Continuing from where John O'Loughlin's previous title, The Un-paralleled Logic of Om-niscience (1923–24) leaves off, this title is divided, with 'Books 1A/B', into two versions, the first of which, dubbed 'Unhyphenated Version', is followed by an 'Unhyphenated Addendum', whilst the second of which, dubbed 'Hyphenated Version', is likewise duly followed by a 'Hyphenated Addendum', both of which are the exact thematic replica of Book 1A except for the fact that all the terms which Mr O'Loughlin preferred not to hyphenate in the one have, as noted, been duly hyphenated in the other, thereby providing a relatively conventional text for those readers who would struggle with the unhyphenated version and its addendum which, according to the author, is ntended for the 'radically tight' rather than the 'conventionally loose' who, even if not invariably female, nonetheless deserve access, via 'Book 1B', to a relatively more accessible text, the bulk of which is, indeed, concerned with what he describes as the Lie of a Living God, even if the addenda to each version of the main text happens to be more comprehensively exacting in its approach to a well-nigh exhaustive list of terminological parallels such that, reminiscent of Arthur Koestler, 'sum-up' his overall philosophy.
