Lactantius, On The Anger Of God - Humans, Reason, And Religion - 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 the question of what genuinely differentiates human beings from the brute animals. Lactantius considers speech, laughter, and even reason and prudential planning, and notes that at least some animals share in these in some ways. The difference for Lactantius resides in religion, and the associated virtues of wisdom and justice.
