Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and the noun οὐσία (ousia, meaning "being" or "presence").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπουσία, the concept of absence can be related to several Hebrew terms that describe the absence or departure of God's presence, such as: Usage: The term ἀπουσία is used in ancient Greek literature to denote the absence of a person or thing. It is not directly used in the New Testament but is relevant in understanding the concept of presence and absence in biblical contexts. Context: The Greek term ἀπουσία, while not appearing in the New Testament, provides insight into the cultural and linguistic context of the early Christian era. The concept of presence and absence is significant in biblical theology, particularly in understanding the presence of God and the absence of sin or evil. In the New Testament, the presence of Christ among His followers is a central theme, as seen in Matthew 28:20, where Jesus assures His disciples, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (BSB). The absence of Christ, in a physical sense, is addressed in passages concerning His ascension and the promise of the Holy Spirit as a continual presence (John 14:16-17, BSB).
