I am doing some work on APOSTASIA in 2 Thess 2:3. Some have interpreted it as
a spatial departure and thus a reference to the Rapture of the church. H.
Wayne House has an article in which he says that in the Vulgate, Jerome
translated APOSTASIA with the Latin DISCESSIO. He use of DISCESSIO supposedly
indicates that Jerome had a spatial departure in mind. Can someone help me on
this or is there a patristics list where I might find some help?
