Chad, Please do not say or infer that we reject a covenant of grace in
Genesis 3:15 just

> because the text doesn't say "covenant"

THat is only one of many reasons. We believe that Genesis 3:15 cannot be
made to teach that God made a covenant of grace with Adam simply because
such an idea cannot be exegeted out of the text.. A covenant of grace must
first be imported into the text before it can be gotten out of the text.

BTW, what do you mean by a  covenant is "in the making". That is a new
phrase to me? Are you saying that just as Gen 3:15 is the protoevangelium of
the gospel it is also the protocovenant of the covenant of grace?
