'Eschatology or Scatology - Judgement at the Crossroads', has a developed sense of axial relativity, not least in respect of the distinctions between that which sensibly radicalizes the 'high road' and that which, stemming from sensibility, radicalizes the 'low road' in such fashion that sensibility is eclipsed by a form of neo-sensuality owing more to autocracy than to democracy. One could say of the title, 'Eschatology or Scatology' - that is the question? For it is rather akin to Shakespeare's 'To be or not to be ...?'

"ESCHATOLOGY OR SCATOLOGY" The title to this seminal work by John O'Loughlin seems to require a subtitle to the effect of 'that is the question', since it is begging the question as to which road to choose, though the actual subtitle 'Judgement at the Crossroads' would suggest that people are free to make such a choice when, in point of fact, as the author well-knows, the axial choice has already been made and has long been in existence as a defining characteristic of, in particular, Western civilization. Nevertheless, even if there is no question as to which is the right road or choice from a moral and godly standpoint, the distinctions need to be made and to be kept in view at all times, since the capacity for the wrong choice is still possible to some people and needs to be guarded against and, where possible, countered in the interests of truth.
