Paragraph 7. THE FALL
410
After his fall, man was not abandoned by God. On the contrary, God calls him
and in a mysterious way heralds the coming victory over evil and his
restoration from his fall.304 This passage in Genesis is called the
Protoevangelium (“first gospel”): the first announcement of the
Messiah and Redeemer, of a battle between the serpent and the Woman, and of the
final victory of a descendant of hers.
