Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Views on Atonement

Question:

What does atonement mean? Do Catholics, Orthodox & Protestants view atonement differently?

Answer:

My colleague Karlo Broussard gives a “primer” on the Catholic view of atonement, which is basically the same as our Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ.

For a comparison between Catholic and the classic Calvinist view, please see Jimmy Akin’s  article on “Fatally Flawed Thinking.”
