This is an oldie but goodie, from the late 50's, I think. The range  
of Biblical usage of EN has been to me one of the greater puzzlements  
in my own efforts to make better sense of the Greek of the GNT;  
perhaps that has been the case with others.

I might just take this opportunity to add that an understanding of EN  
in the GNT  is something that one cannot acquire consulting a  
glossary or pocket lexicon; you can study the entry in BDAG  
carefully, looking at examples of all significant usages listed in  
the references, but that will take some time. This paper repays  
reading (and it's an effort for those like me who have to use a 56K  
modem.
