David Myatt - Collected Works In Print
As far as I am concerned the rest of my writings, spanning some four decades, are either (i) hubriatic/tending toward hubris, or, as in the case of post-2011 material, (ii) can and should be forgotten, being only transitory scribblings.
Furthermore, all pre-2011 writings, save for (i) the translations
and the poetry listed below, and some private letters written
between 2002 and 2011, or (ii) included in the other works listed
below, are disowned and rejected by me.

15. Tu Es Diaboli Ianua

ISBN-13: 978-1982010935
BISAC: Philosophy / Metaphysics
Since the religion termed Christianity has, for over six centuries, been influential in respect of the ethos and spirituality of the culture of the West – often to the extent of having been described as manifesting that ethos and that spirituality – one of the metaphysical questions I have saught to answer over the past forty years is whether that religion is, given our thousands of years old human culture of pathei-mathos, a suitable presencing of the numinous. If it is not, then could that religion be reformed, by developing a Johannine Weltanschauung given that the Gospel According to John – τὸ κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον – arguably presents a somewhat different perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth than the three other synoptic Gospels. Would such a reformation be a suitable presencing of the numinous, and if not, then what non-Christian alternatives – such as a paganus metaphysics – exist, and what is the foundation of such an alternative?
This essay presents my answers to such questions and thus compliments my book Classical Paganism And The Christian Ethos.
