The Woman Who Crushes the Serpent is a theological and historical examination of the longstanding debate surrounding Genesis 3:15. The book argues in favor of the traditional Catholic translation, "she shall crush thy head," as preserved in the Latin Vulgate and Douay-Rheims Bible. Drawing on biblical analysis, Hebrew grammar, textual criticism, Jewish interpretation, patristic testimony, and Marian theology, the author contends that the verse establishes two parallel enmities: the woman versus the serpent and the woman's seed versus the serpent's seed.
The work presents the Blessed Virgin Mary as the New Eve and a direct participant in the defeat of Satan, while affirming Christ as the ultimate source of victory. Through extensive discussion of Genesis, Revelation, early Church Fathers, and manuscript traditions, the book seeks to demonstrate the historical, theological, and scriptural foundations of the Marian interpretation of Genesis 3:15.
