Aa: Anethema
Found in January's Table Talk, 2009:
Twice Paul says that any creature who distorts the gospel should be accursed, He literally pronounces "anathema" on such a person. Those who spread false gospels are worthy of God's damnation. p. 27
1. A formal ecclesiastical ban, curse, or excommunication.
2. A vehement denunciation; a curse: "the sound of a witch's anathemas in some unknown tongue" Nathaniel Hawthorne.
3. One that is cursed or damned.
4. One that is greatly reviled, loathed, or shunned.
