Mitch:

You are probably quoting from world famous Dr. Daniel
Wallace in his GGBB. I too have wondered why he
repeats this statement frequently throughout his book.


I assumed that the "default" way to express an
adjectival relationship would be with an Adjective.
So, when a writer "goes out of his way" to express an
adjectival relationship by not using the "default"
way, s/he would be giving emphasis. I would easily be
persuaded away from this position if someone were so
kind as to show me the error.

Another reply talked about "word order" emphasis, and
that is true, but not related to this topic. Word
order emphasis is a syntactical issue, not a
grammatical one, which is how I understand your
question. WHERE a Genitive or Adjective is positioned
is another question altogether.
