 ## Chapter 4
 
 In the previous three chapters, I've explored how and why contemporary green
-rhetoric is too often failing, and argued that the apocalyptic form is not one
-of the root causes. In this chapter, I aim to show that in order for green
-rhetoric to succeed, it must imitate some of the rhetorical strategies of the
-Apocalypse.
+rhetoric is too often failing, and discussed the particular criticism of the use
+of catastrophic language. In the previous chapter, I argued that these
+criticisms of catastrophic language do not apply to the use of apocalyptic
+language in the most important model of apocalyptic rhetoric in Western
+literature, namely, the Apocalypse of St John.  Now, in this chapter, I aim to
+show that in order for green rhetoric to succeed, it should imitate the
+apocalyptic rhetorical strategies of the Apocalypse discussed in the previous chapter.
 
 In order to consider how green rhetoric might succeed, I have to specify: what
 is the rhetor trying to achieve? How are they hoping that it will be achieved?
