"The descent into hell is the ultimate consequence of the incarnation. The Son was first a simple God in himself, pure immensity. Then he became man, thousands of relationships with other men, thousands of changing and temporal states, efforts, and initiatives. He experienced all this in a fleeting destiny, in something without boundaries, which was always available to the infinity of the Father. Now he still lacks the knowledge of pure non-being God, of pure opposition to God, so to speak, of simple limitation in limitlessness."
Harrowing of Hell
