The Belief Of The First Three Centuries Concerning Christ's Mission To The Underworld

by Frederic Huidekoper

Book Overview

""The Belief of the First Three Centuries Concerning Christ's Mission to the Underworld"" is a scholarly work by Frederick Huidekoper that explores the early Christian belief in Christ's descent into the underworld. Huidekoper examines the writings of the first three centuries of Christianity, including the New Testament, the writings of the Church Fathers, and various apocryphal texts, in order to trace the development of this belief and its significance for early Christian theology. He argues that the belief in Christ's descent into the underworld was a central part of early Christian doctrine, and that it had important implications for the understanding of salvation, the nature of Christ, and the relationship between God and humanity. This book is an important resource for scholars of early Christianity and anyone interested in the history of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
