Publisher's Synopsis
A Treatise On The Anger Of God is a theological work by Lactantius, a Christian author of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The book explores the concept of God's anger and wrath, examining the reasons why God might be angry and the consequences of his anger. Lactantius argues that God's anger is a necessary part of his nature, as it serves to punish sin and uphold justice. He also discusses the role of repentance and forgiveness in mitigating God's anger, and offers advice on how to avoid incurring God's wrath. The book is written in a highly rhetorical style, with Lactantius employing vivid imagery and powerful language to convey his message. It is considered an important work in early Christian theology, and has influenced many subsequent writers and thinkers.In the next place, if the things which are not seen are formed from invisible seeds, it follows that those which are seen are from visible seeds. Why, then, does no one see them? But whether any one regards the invisible parts which are in man, or the parts which can be touched, and which are visible, who does not see that both parts exist in accordance with design? (8) How, then, can bodies which meet together without design effect anything reasonable? (9) For we see that there is nothing in the whole world which has not in itself very great and wonderful design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
