Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev The Descent Into Hell Translated from English by Cristian Vajea Our Saviour’s Descent into hell represents one of the most mysterious, enigmatic and unexplainable events in the New Testament history. In today’s Christian world, this event is understood differently. Which was the conception of the early Church? What do the first-centuries sources tell us about the Descent into hell? Which is the standpoint of the Orthodox Church in this matter? And which is the soteriological significance of Christ’s Descent into hell from the Orthodox perspective? These, and further similar issues are broached by Bishop Ilarion Alfeyev in the present study. Format: 13 x 20 cm; 248 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-056-0 “Theological Studies” «« back
