Rod, et al.,
There is another fine article by N. T. Wright, "hARPAGMOS and the Meaning
of Philippians 2:5-11," Journal of Theological Studies, 37.2 (1986), 321-352,
which builds upon the work of R. W. Hoover (cf. "The Harpagmos Enigma: A
Philological Solution, HTR, 64.1 (1971), 95-119). Wright suggested at 2:6,
"who being in the form of God, did not regard this divine equality as
something to be used for his own advantage, but rather emptied himself..."
