Word Origin: Derived from ἀθετέω (atheteō), meaning "to set aside" or "to reject." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "athetésis," the concept of annulment or setting aside can be related to Hebrew terms like "בָּטַל" (batal), meaning "to cease" or "to nullify." Usage: The term "athetésis" refers to the act of nullifying or making void. In a biblical context, it often implies the annulment or setting aside of a previous covenant or commandment, highlighting the transition from the old to the new covenant in Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal and contractual terms like "athetésis" were significant in discussions about the validity and annulment of agreements. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to describe the theological shift from the Old Covenant, based on the Law of Moses, to the New Covenant, established through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This transition was a pivotal theme in early Christian teachings, emphasizing the fulfillment and surpassing of the old legalistic system by the grace and truth brought by Christ.
