Reparation (theological)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The theological concept of Reparation is that humankind is partially saved from original sin through the Incarnation, Passion, and death of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[1]

This concept is distinct from Acts of Reparation in the Roman Catholic tradition, which are prayers and devotions intended to repair the sins of others, e.g. to repair blasphemy.[2]
