The word atonement appears only once in the entire New Testament, but twenty-eight times in the text of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is clearly the most profound treatment of this supremely important subject found anywhere (see Boyd K. Packer, in Conference Report, Apr. 1988, pp. 81-82; or Ensign, May 1988, pp. 69-70). [Dallin H. Oaks, "Another Testament of Jesus Christ," CES Fireside for College-age Young Adults, 6 June 1993, B.Y.U., p. 7]
