The word anathema has two main meanings. One is to describe that something or someone is being hated or avoided. The other refers to a formal excommunication by a church.[1][2][3] These meanings come from the New Testament,[4] where an Anathema was a person or thing cursed or condemned by God.[5] In the Old Testament, an Anathema was something or someone dedicated to God as a sacrifice,[6] or cursed and separated from God because of sin.[7] These represent two types of settings, one for devotion, the other for destruction.[8]
