Hi Bill
Jerome also uses DISCESSIO in Acts 21:21 so it
seems unlikely that his use in 2 Thess 2:3 has
any more positive flavour, and the Acts use
is not spatial but (in James' view) doctrinal.
James speech in 21:20-25 is a defence of the
Law entirely couched in Mosaic terms; therefore
it might be worthwhile identifying the Mosaic
references underlying APOSTASIA in the NT.
Cheers
Steven
