When as an evangelical pastor I preached on Genesis 3:15, I completely ignored one of the passage's central gospel themes. I recently reconsulted the four study bibles and twelve Protestant commentaries I used to write this sermon. I found one small, passing reference to Mary. To many evangelicals, Mary is little more than an incubator for the Savior, a plastic figurine brought out in December and put back in the attic in January. But Catholics affirm the more biblical view of Mary as the New Eve and the one that fully accords with the Mariology of the Early Fathers.
