<< The idea of Christ descending into hell does not
appear in versions of the AC before about 400. >>
According th Kelly's Early Christian Creeds, the clause 'descended into hell'
occurs for the first time in the fourth Sirmium creed of May 359. It seems
likely that it made its way into Western usage and therefore the Apostles' creed
from there.
