"and the phrase "Seed of the woman" is sometimes counted as one of the titles of Jesus in the Bible.[7]"
This seems like a weak reference and claim. Gal 4:4 seems to come the closest, but I don't see much of a connection between the "seed of the woman" in Gen 3:15 and a title of Jesus. At least, it's really hard to find allusions to this verse in the NT authors, much less a direct title. Yekcidmij ( talk) 14:45, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
I suggest that Protevangelium be merged into this article ( Seed of the woman). Both articles discuss the same Bible verse, only Protevangelium does so from an exclusively Protestant Christian perspective, while Seed of the woman is wider in scope. I think most of Protevangelium's content could be merged into the #Christ subsection of this article, which is currently underdeveloped. Dan from A.P. ( talk) 17:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
"The seed of the woman or offspring of the woman is an unnamed person or community of people prophetically referred to in the biblical Book of Genesis. " Doesn't seem like a correct expression.
according to the view that it refers to all mankind, it would be neither a person, or a community of people, i also am not familiar with any views that suggest it refers to a community of people. I suggest changing to to say "The seed of the woman or offspring of the woman is a phrase used in biblical Book of Genesis." the rest of the lead still explains the views.
Please let me know if there are objections, or better alternatives, thanks. Prof.Silas ( talk) 23:28, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
StAnselm and Prof.Silas, I've added a new lead sentence/definition to the article and kept the old one for comparison; I'd also like to revert the article title to Protoevangelium as this is the common academic usage; what do you think? Achar Sva ( talk) 10:37, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
