Sinopsis

What does it mean to affirm that Jesus &ldquo,descended into hell?&rdquo, What actually happened to Jesus between Good Friday and Easter? áWas this &ldquo,descent&rdquo, part of his suffering or part of his triumph? And why does it matter today?With a theologian&rsquo,s research, a pastor&rsquo,s heart and a poet&rsquo,s sensibility, Gerrit Dawson explores the answers given through the centuries to these questions. By using a narrative approach, Dawson achieves a unique synthesis of previously competing views. He shows that the ancient idea of the harrowing of hell, the Reformed view of &ldquo,hell on the cross&rdquo, and the 20th century recognition of the darkness of Holy Saturday can all work together. áFar from being a discardable doctrine, the descent offers a unique window on the person and work of Christ, one we urgently need to open for the worship and mission of the Church today.á
