Written while he was dying,Apocalypseis Lawrence's final book. In it, he presents both a radical criticism of our civilization and a statement of unwavering belief in man's power to create ';a new heaven and a new earth.' This volume also includes Lawrence's review ofBook of Revelationby John Orman, and his Introduction toThe Dragon of the Apocalypseby Frederick Carter. The Appendixes also present previously unpublished material on Revelation.
