The [[word]] atonement was invented in the sixteenth century by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tyndale William Tyndale] who recognized that there was not a direct [[English]] [[translation]] of the biblical Hebraic [[concept]]. The word is composed of two parts "at" and "onement" in order to [[reflect]] the dual aspect of Christ's sacrifice: the remission of sin and reconciliation of man to God. Tyndale's concept overcame the limitations of the word "reconciliation" whilst incorporating aspects of propitiation and [[forgiveness]].[1][2][3]
