Three days, which seem somewhat empty, stand at the center and turning point of all history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe famous creedal statement \"Christ descended into hell\" has rarely received serious investigation, especially from Protestants. In this book, respected New Testament scholar Patrick Schreiner explores the biblical and theological case for Jesus's descent, not only examining debated New Testament texts but also integrating patterns from the Old Testament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchreiner clarifies what Jesus accomplished when he descended to the dead, exploring questions such as\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWhere did Jesus go?\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eWhat did Jesus do?\u003cbr\u003e- What difference does it make?\u003cbr\u003e- How does the descent deepen our understanding of Christ's work? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchreiner argues that Jesus's descent was both the final stage of his humiliation and part of his exaltation, during which he entered the realm of the dead, bore the sins of his people, proclaimed victory to the spiritual powers, seized the keys from Death and Hades, and released Old Testament saints from Abraham's side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChrist's Descent to the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e explores a neglected doctrine and reveals its importance for our understanding of Jesus and his work. It will appeal to students of the New Testament as well as pastors.","brand":"Patrick Schreiner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41313493188657,"sku":"9781540970206","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781540970206.jpg?v=1793870574","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781540970206_christs-descent-to-the-dead","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
