What is Atonement?
'''Atonement''' is an idea found in both [[Christianity]] and [[Judaism]] that describes how [[sin]] can be forgiven by [[God]]. In Judaism, this was done by rituals performed by the High Priest on the holiest day of the Jewish year: [[Yom Kippur]] (Day of Atonement). In [[Christian]] theology the atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sins through the death of [[Jesus Christ]]. {{Christianityfooter}} {{religion-stub}} [[Category:Christian theology]] [[Category:Judaism]]
