Guest: Dr. Matthew Emerson | Dr. Arnold interviews Dr. Emerson on the topic of where Jesus went after he died. Topics of conversation include: 1) Why did Jesus descend to the realm of the dead? 2) How do we understand controversial passages, such as 1 Peter 3 and Philippians 2? 3) What doctrines are connected to our understanding of Jesus’s descent? 4) How do we explain some of the verses people use to dispute the fact that Jesus descended to the dead?

Dr. Matthew Emerson is professor of Religion and dean of Hobbs College of Theology and Ministry at Oklahoma Baptist University. He is the author of “He Descended to the Dead”: An Evangelical Theology of Holy Saturday (IVP Academic, 2019). Dr. Emerson holds a PhD from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
