Mark,
This is an intriguing remark. I also would not find anything wrong with
writing up a "lexicon" of the 100 most frequent semantic/pragmatic
applications of the NT Greek genitive. However we still need to understand
syntax and learning a list of 100 genitives does not get you there.
Where do we go from here? How would you present the subject of NT Greek
syntax? Not in detail, but what approach would you use?
Clay
