Episode Details

Did the Apostles’ Creed originally include the phrase “He descended into hell”?

Many Christians recite these words—but few stop to ask where they came from or what they actually mean.

In this episode, we examine:

The historical development of the Apostles’ Creed When and where this phrase appears in church history

What Scripture teaches about Christ’s descent

We also clarify a common misunderstanding:

The phrase is not about Jesus being tormented in hell, but about His true death and descent to the realm of the dead—what Scripture refers to as Sheol (and in Greek, Hades).

Filmed in a historic cemetery, this discussion reflects on death, the grave, and the victory of Christ.
