This in-depth study on the realm of death presents a message of hope held by the first generation of Christians and the early church. Using Scripture, patristic tradition, early Christian poetry, and liturgical texts, Archbishop Hilarion explores the mysterious and enigmatic event of Christs descent into Hades and its consequences for the human race. Insisting that Christ entered Sheol as Conqueror and not as victim, the author depicts the Lords descent as an event of cosmic significance opening the path to universal salvation. He also reveals Hades as a place of divine presence, a place where the spiritual fate of a person may still change. Reminding readers that self-will remains the only hindrance to life in Christ, he presents the gospel message anew, even in the shadow of death. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

This book is a good source to see this doctrine and its presence in the worship of the early church. I believe the doctrine. The author however does go too far in saying this doctrine implies the universal salvation of all mankind. It does not, it implies the universal resurrection of all, yes, but not universal salvation. This is where I differ most with the author. Other than that, though I recommend it for study. ( )
