Summary
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was the most important festival of late-antique Judaism, but its influence on Christianity was not generally recognized. Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra here not only reveals the profound influence of Yom Kippur on the rituals, institutions, mythology and theology of early Christianity up to the fifth century but also offers the first detailed analysis of the festival itself.
