He Descended Into Hell. An Interpretation Of 1 Peter 3:18-20, Martin H. Scharlemann Feb 1956

He Descended Into Hell. An Interpretation Of 1 Peter 3:18-20, Martin H. Scharlemann

In recent years this short sentence has come under considerable discussion within our own circles. There has been some question as to the significance of these words as they are used in the Creed.
