What happened on Holy Saturday? Did Jesus descend to hell? If not, why is this in the early creeds? The descent of Jesus Christ to the dead has been a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, but also misunderstood. Matthew Emerson offers an exploration of the biblical, historical, theological, and practical implications of the descent.
