==Description==
'''Redemption''' is a [[religious]] [[concept]] referring to [[forgiveness]] or absolution for [[past]] [[sin]]s and protection from [[eternal]] damnation, generally through [[sacrifice]]. Redemption is common in many world [[religions]] and all Abrahamic Religions, especially in [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]] (المغفرة).
In [[Christianity]], redemption is synonymous with [[salvation]]. The Christian religion, though not the exclusive [[possessor]] of the [[idea]] of redemption, has given to it a special definiteness and a dominant position. Taken in its widest sense, as deliverance from [[dangers]] and ills in general, most religions teach some form of it. It [[assumes]] an important position, however, only when the ills in question form part of a great [[system]] against which [[human]] [[power]] is helpless.
