This lecture discusses the late ancient monastic theologian, John Cassian's work Institutes of the Coenobia, book 8, "Of The Spirit of Anger". It focuses specifically on the only situations in which Cassian considers anger to be legitimate and useful, that is, anger against the bad dispositions within oneself. He discusses this in chapters 7-9.
