This substantial collection of loosely aphoristic philosophy, which the author is apt to term ‘supernotational’, embraces the Christian dichotomy of Devil and God in such fashion that one is left in no doubt that the former is alpha and the latter omega and, hence, that God, or godliness, is the repudiation of all that the Devil stands for, and thus the exact opposite. But this is a torturously complex and protracted path, which is why ‘The Omega Book’, as it is subtitled, is anything but an easy read, despite the efforts of its author to make it as logically and stylistically consistent as possible, and to offer real hope that victory for God over the Devil is still possible even in this day and age, when cynicism with regard to the possibility of religious progress seems to be at an all-time high, and largely because of erroneous or compromised religious conceptions that pander to the one even as they ostensibly acknowledge the other.
