Can anyone point me to these "certain respected scholars"? If, indeed,
APOKALUYSIS IHSOU CRISTOU is the subjective or possessive genitive, that
indicates (EMOI) that Jesus is not "merely" but fully the medium or
manifestation of revelation.
BTW, isn't this the argument presented in the opening of the Hebrews
Epistle, that God's Word no longer comes to us POLUMERWS KAI POLUTROPWS,
little by little and in many ways, but ELALHSEN hHMIn EN UIWi?
Interesting question, Ted.
God Bless,
