Jesus - A Summing Up!

'Jesus - A Summing Up', as it has been titled, somewhat with Arthur Koestler's 'Janus - A Summing Up' in mind, pretty much brings the formal stage of John O'Loughlin's literary oeuvre and overall philosophizing, which began back in 1977, shortly after his initial literary works, and has resulted in over ninety titles of a philosophical nature, to a highly satisfactory conclusion, and therefore it 'sums up' much of what has gone before and even adds some new material, much to the author's surprise, here and there something presaging the next stage of his writing in the blogging with philosophical intent that was to come! Incidentally, it is perhaps inevitable that this conclusive text to a chronological sequence of similarly-structured aphoristic texts should itself conclude with an appendix virtually as long as the main body of the work, as though both to sum-up what has preceded it and intimate, in paradoxical vein, of what was to come with the initial relaxation of aphoristic concision towards an essayistic prolixity characteristic of much if not most of this author's subsequent blogging an eventuality partly conditioned, it seemed to him, by the structural parameters of most weblog sites.
