There is a belief in some Christian traditions that Jesus descended to hell between his crucifixion and resurrection to proclaim victory and deliver the righteous who had died before his earthly ministry. However, this belief is not universally accepted, and the biblical evidence for it is debated. The specific details of Jesus going to hell are not explicitly described in The Bible.

How do Christians explain the salvation brought by Jesus using examples from Jewish religion and culture?
Salvation is usually explained as saving our souls from eternity in hell, by the forgiveness of sins. The Jewish religion does not have the concept of hell, so this concept can not be explained in terms of Jewish religion. Christianity had to introduce to concept of hell, so that salvation would be truly meaningful. Nevertheless, Judaism did have the notion of taking away their sins. Traditionally, at the Passover, they would release one lamb, or goat, to take away their sins, and sacrifice another. In the gospels, Barabbas ("Son of the father") would be set free, just as the Jews ritually set free a lamb in the Passover season, and Jesus (Son of the Father) was to be the sacrificial lamb.

Whom did Pontius Pilate set free instead of Jesus?
A:The gospels say that at the time of the Passover, it was a Jewish tradition to set one man free*. He asked the crowd to set Jesus or the murderer Barabbas free, and they chose to set Barabbas free.Some scholars suggest that this was a play on words, and that there was no Barabbas. They say that Abbas means 'Father' in Aramaic and therefore Barabbas means 'Son of the Father'. Jesus is known as the Son of the Father, so the allusion is that the Jews set the wrong Son of the Father free.* Scholars say there is no historical evidence of this tradition. Mark may have been inspired by an actual Jewish tradition to sacrifice one goat and let a second goat go free.
