The Atonement is the central with God , of people who have Sin ned. It is a concept of Forgiveness and repair, based on the mercy of God, the central idea of Christianity . It attempts to explain why the Sin less human being Jesus died, and in terms of the Trinity , why God The Son , the second Person of the Trinity, incarnated in human flesh as Jesus , Suffered horribly and died on The Cross . Especially prominent in western Christianity is the concept of Substitutionary Atonement pioneered by Anselm Of Canterbury and adapted by Pierre Abélard , Thomas Aquinas , Hugo Grotius , John Calvin , John Miley and others. ( Eastern Orthodoxy has a substantively different Soteriology ; this is sometimes cited as the core difference between Eastern and Western Christianity.) A different concept of atonement exists in Judaism. The Holiest day of the year is the Day Of Atonement known as Yom Kippur in Hebrew . It comes exactly ten days after the Jewish New Year known as Rosh Hashana . ATONEMENT THEORIES IN CHRISTIANITY
