Dave:
The Genitive of Apposition is a construction where a substantive (noun,
pronoun, or participle) is followed by another substantive in the genitive
case. The second substantive renames the first substantive. An example would
be "the Gift of the Spirit" which can be understood as " the Gift which is
the Spirit"
Hope this clarifies this concept for you
Kevin
