Christ’s Proclamation to the Spirits in Prison in 1 Peter 3:19

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Scholars have debated the idea of Christ’s descent in 1 Peter 3:19, which had a great influence on the doctrine of triduum mortis. While the church fathers believed that 1 Peter 3:19 refers to the descending of Christ, recently many scholars have interpreted 1 Peter 3:19 as referring to Christ’s ascending to heaven. This article argues that in the context of 3:18-22. Christ’s proclamation of his victory to the spirits in prison occurred in his ascension rather than in his descending. The idea of preaching the gospel to dead people is not suitable in the text of 3:18-22. With this message of victory, 1 Peter consoles the recipients who are being persecuted by enemies. Thus, 1 Peter 3:19 teaches that Christ’s proclamation of victory to the evil entities occurred when he ascended to heaven.
