I've gone back and reread your articles on the subject. Are there any other articles/books on the subject? Thanks for any help.

I don't know about enlightenment (it's still dark in the Blue Ridge,  
where I'm writing at 6 a.m.), but I'll repeat what I already mentioned  
to Jeffrey in my previous off-list response to him: there's not really  
any difference between GENESQW and GENHQHTW -- i.e. we can't affirm  
that GENESQW is middle but GENHQHTW passive, since the QH "passive"  
forms are in process of supplanting the older aorist middle (and  
future middle) forms, bearing both middle and passive semantic value  
just as the MAI/SAI/TAI,MHN/SO/TO forms bear both middle and passive  
semantic value, depending on the verb and its distinctive Aktionsart.  
I'd say that both forms --  GENESQW and GENHQHTW -- mean "come to  
pass" or "come to fulfillment." I don't think any grammatical  
perspective precludes the possibility or probability that this is to  
come about through human agents who will do the will of God.
