Did Jesus Descend Into Hell? Examining the Scriptural Evidence

from Reasonable Theology Podcast Hosted by Clay Kraby

On this episode, we will examine the question of whether or not after His death on the cross Jesus "descended into hell" as stated in the Apostles’ Creed. While many Christians recite this creed, some have questioned whether the phrase “He descended into hell” should be included due to the lack of an explicit passage of Scripture teaching this. We will evaluate several possible interpretations of this phrase and compare them to God's Word to see if they hold up. Join me as we delve into the historical context and theology behind this belief and explore the important question of how we should respond if we cannot affirm this particular line in the Apostles' Creed. ► For additional resources on this topic: https://reasonabletheology.org/did-jesus-descend-into-hell/ ► Let's Connect: - Facebook: https://facebook.com/ReasonableTheology - Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheologyTweets - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reasonabletheology Support the show GET THE NEWSLETTER Each edition of the Reasonable Theology newsletter contains my latest article or podcast episode PLUS: A Theological Word or Phrase Explained Quickly and Clearly A Painting Depicting a Scene from Scripture or Church History Audio of a Hymn or other Musical Selection to Enjoy A Recommended Book or Resource to Expand Your Library SUBSCRIBE HERE
