Ep. 4.5 Gospel of Nicodemus: Descent Into Hell

BONUS EPISODE!!!

On "Silent Saturday", the day between Jesus' death on Good Friday and resurrection on Easter Morning... Jesus lay dead in the tomb.  This Apocryphal book is a fictional look into what Christians of old thought of as happening in between Jesus' death and resurrection.  This is a story about "the Harrowing of Hell" and the defeat of Satan and Hades.

 

This is NOT a "lost book" of scripture, nor is it a heretical writing condemned by the church.  It sits somewhere in the middle of being a special story that speaks of the power of Jesus's death in a way that is entertaining and illuminating.  We hope you enjoy this reading and get something out of it, even if just a bit more wonder and the removal of Death's sting.
