Lactantius, On The Anger Of God - Defining Just Anger - Sadler's Lectures
This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient Christian rhetorician and philosopher's short treatise, On The Anger of God
Specifically it focuses on his discussion of various definitions of anger, which he finds deficient, put forward by Stoics, Cicero, and Aristotle. These all work for unjust anger, but do not apply to just anger, which he defines as "a motion of mind arising for restraining faults".
