The article argues against the very general demands of atonement that amount to an obligation to stop being someone who commits wrongs—to become a ―moral saint‖—and suggests a new form of atonement that is more practical and useful in our everyday life.}, keywords = {Moral repair,moral saints,forgiveness,atonement}, url = {https://ri.urd.ac.ir/article_11220.html}, eprint = {https://ri.urd.ac.ir/article_11220_0f6f6bde16157fe4d22fc93a554eb72e.pdf} }
