The Anticipated Christ: The Proto Gospel
Nov 27, 2022 • Brian Zahnd
Christian theology calls the foreshadowing of Genesis 3:15 the protoevangelium—the proto gospel or the first good news. As Adam and Eve are subjected to death and exiled from Eden, there is the foreshadowed hope that someday a man born of woman will triumph over sin and death. This is the messianic hope. This is the anticipated Christ.
