Abstract

Atonement is the rectification of past sin. On a robust account of atonement, it has the power to retroactively delete our sins from history. In this paper, I defend the notion of robust atonement against various criticisms and lay bare the fundamental philosophical claims that we must employ if we want to take the Hebrew Bible at its word that atonement removes the sin from the sinner.
