Apostasia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From Greek απο, apo, "away, apart", στασις, stasis, "standing".

Also derived from Greek αποστάτης, meaning "political rebel", as applied to rebellion against God, its law and the faith of Israel (in Hebrew מרד) in the old testament.

There were several uses of the term Apostasia:


The term apostasia is rehabilitated from its pejorative sense in the phrase "divine apostasia," which is understood to mean an inability to articulate given the tools (or limitations rather) of language. This sense of the term apostasia asserts the moral humility and/or wisdom of silence and hesitance of speech and writing.
