À propos de cette écoute
In early Christianity, a diverse body of texts emerged alongside the canonical scriptures, many of which aimed to fill in gaps left by the New Testament narratives. Among these apocryphal works, the Gospel of Nicodemus, which includes the Acts of Pilate and the account of the Harrowing of Hell, stands out for its rich portrayal of the events surrounding Christ's trial, crucifixion, and descent into Hell. These texts, though non-canonical, offer a unique glimpse into early Christian beliefs and the theological debates that shaped the development of the faith.
The Gospel of Nicodemus provides an expanded account of Christ's interaction with Pontius Pilate, a figure central to the passion narrative. This work, closely associated with the Acts of Pilate, portrays Pilate in a more sympathetic light than the canonical Gospels, reflecting early Christian apologetic efforts to legitimize Christianity in the Roman Empire. The Harrowing of Hell, a key section of the text, explores Christ’s descent into the underworld after his crucifixion—a theme that would have profound theological implications for the doctrine of salvation and the afterlife in both Eastern and Western Christianity.
