	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Purgatory
		The Apostolic practice of praying for the dead which passed into the liturgy of the Church, is as clear in the fourth century as it is in the twentieth.
		Gregory the Great speaks of those who after this life "will expiate their faults by purgatorial flames," and he adds "that the pain be more intolerable than any one can suffer in this life" (Ps.
		It is the traditional faith of Catholics that the souls in purgatory are not separated from the Church, and that the love which is the bond of union between the Church's members should embrace those who have departed this life in God's grace.

	Atonement (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Christ's work consisted of suffering and obedience, and these were vicarious, i.e., were not merely for our benefit, but were in our stead, as the suffering and obedience of our vicar, or substitute.
		Our guilt is expiated by the punishment which our vicar bore, and thus God is rendered propitious, i.e., it is now consistent with his justice to manifest his love to transgressors.
		Expiation has been made for sin, i.e., it is covered.

	The Encyclopedia Salesman, case study from the Center for Business Ethics and Social Responsibility
		Halakhic disfavor at financing living standards by going into debt can be derived from an analysis of the sliding-scale sacrifice:
		In the times of the Temple, the offering of sacrifices often formed a part of the expiation process for the transgressor seeking atonement.

	Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Free Online Library
		The hero Raskolnikov is a poor student, who is led on to commit a murder partly by self conceit, partly by the contemplation of the abject misery around him.
		Unsurpassed in poignancy in the whole of modern literature is the sensation of compassion evoked by the scene between the self-tormented Raskolnikov and the humble street-walker, Sonia, whom he loves, and from whom, having confessed his crime, he derives the idea of expiation.
		Raskolnikov finally gives himself up to the police and is exiled to Siberia, whither Sonia follows him.

		We pray, we offer sacrifice for souls therein detained that "God in mercy may forgive every fault and receive them into the bosom of Abraham ".

	Albert Camus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The Fall (1956) — Camus’ third novel, and the last to be published during his lifetime, is, in effect, an extended dramatic monologue spoken by M. Jean-Baptiste Clamence, a dissipated, cynical, former Parisian attorney (who now calls himself a “judge-penitent”) to an unnamed auditor (and thus indirectly to the reader).
		Set in a seedy bar amid the night-life of Amsterdam, the work is a small masterpiece of compression and style: a confessional (and semi-autobiographical) novel, an arresting character study and psychological portrait, and at the same time a wide-ranging philosophical discourse on guilt and innocence, expiation and punishment, good and evil.
		Camus himself described his hero as a man “obsessed with the impossible” and willing to pervert all values and if necessary destroy himself and all those around him in the pursuit of absolute liberty.
