<DIV><FONT size=2>I would like to thank all that contributed answers to my
question regarding Eph. 2:15. They have been informative.
Unfortunately, they have not addressed what I specifically wanted to know.
The phrase which we are dealing with is hINA TOUS DUO KTISHi EN AUTWi EIC hENA
KAINON ANQROPWN. TOUS DUO is definitely the direct object of KTISHi
referring to what is being created. EN AUTWi is"in himself
(Christ)" modifying the verb explaining where the action is taking place,
or how the action is taking place (some clarity or opinion here would be
appreciated). The main question that I have to how to grammatically link
EIS ANQROPON to the rest of the sentence. Is it modifying the verb,
expressing "?" (I have no idea what it would be expressing), or is it
modifying DUO and again I am not sure how is would be relating to it. Paul
Zellmer indicated that it is not likely that it would functioning as the direct
object of the verb, which was my initial thought. My reasoning is that the
this is the result of the creation process that Christ is doing within himself,
as God created man, So Christ is creating the new man. I have a sense of
what Paul is communicating through this passage, but I would like to be very
precise both in diagramming it grammatically, and discussing it technically in
my paper. Any help answer these two questions would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks, Andrew Bowman.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
