Why does the Apostles’ Creed say that Jesus “descended into hell?” There are many frequently asked questions regarding this statement. What does “hell” mean, and where does Jesus really go after the crucifixion? In scripture, we see several Greek and Hebrew words translated as “hell.” Our culture and media have also distorted our idea of what words like hades, land of the dead, and paradise truly mean, even in largely Christian circles. We hope you find this conversation informative!

A supernatural view of the Bible, and the history within it, helps bring even more clarity to covenant theology. The way God covenants with His people is often in direct opposition to the covenants men made with other powers. Christ ultimately shows the futility of these other gods and their covenants by revealing to them His full power through His ministry on Earth, the resurrection, and His ascension.
