The statement of Christ's descent to the abode of the dead (or hell) has been the target of many theological interpretations since the sixth century II. Formulated in a biblical context, where expressions like Sheol, Hades were ye wear, refers to the time elapsed between death and resurrection of Jesus, he would have performed the activities during this period and the salvific meaning of these activities. The issue was thoroughly discussed by the Fathers and its main lines of interpretation soteriological, preaching to the dead and the victory over the infernal powers, are present in all genres of Christian literature and art of the time. For some early Fathers of the related statement of the descent into hell the enigmatic verses of the First Letter of Peter from 3.18 to 22, an association not at all clear that the issue became even more complex. The attempt to interpret the same verses relating them to the apocryphal Book of Enoch, made at the beginning of the twentieth century seems to have increased further this difficulty. The theme of the descent to hell was also present in medieval theology and modern periods in which it was established, which can be given the traditional Catholic interpretation. The theme persists in contemporary theological reflection, which, besides reviewing the classic interpretations (like the victory over death and infernal powers), develop interpretations that emphasize aspects that had not been sufficiently addressed by the ancients, as the solidarity of Christ with sinners. Our work aims to show that, about twelve hundred years after its incorporation in the Apostles' Creed, the article asserts that Christ's descent into hell continues to maintain its relevance for Christian theology and praxis of the century.
