Atonement in the N.T. the word Atonement in the authorized version of the bible is an O.T. term.

It appears only once in the N.T. Romans Five:11 where it is translated as reconciliation in the revised version.

Romans 5:11

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Atonement:

John 6:51

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Atonement.

Is it the OT version of repentance?

I wonder if there is an interesting shift between the two.

Old Testament: repent!

New Testament: atone!

Atonement is reconciliation, by the death of Christ God has reconciled His chosen people to Himself Rom 5:10, and repentance is what God gives to them that has been reconciled.
