The Growth of the Seed: Notes on the Book of Genesis

The Growth of the Seed: Notes on the Book of Genesis
by Nathan Ward

The Growth of the Seed is a study of the book of Genesis that emphasizes two primary themes: the development of the Messianic line and the growing enmity between the righteous and the wicked. In addition, it provides detailed comments on the text and short essays on several subjects that are suggested in, yet peripheral to, Genesis.

In the beginning of Genesis, enmity is guaranteed between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.  That enmity begins immediately as Cain kills Abel, and continues through Genesis—and through the Bible—until it culminates in the children of the devil murdering the Seed of the woman. The book of Genesis begins that narrative, documenting the development of God’s covenant relationship with man through the growth of the seed.  The Growth of the Seed is a study of Genesis that emphasizes these themes.
