Social Sciences - Religion
English term or phrase: outer wilderness
I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me with this one. Here's the context:

"...those who doubted the orthodoxies were anathematized by Freud and his followers and driven into the outer wilderness."

As you've obviously surmised from the context, I'm not looking for a literal translation. A flexible and figurative understanding of the phrase "outer wilderness" is a must.

Many thanks in advance,
