RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Where the Rubber Meets the Road: An Analysis of the Use of Verbal Aspect Theory in Ciampa and Rosner’s Commentary on First Corinthians A1 Kelley, Noah W. AB This article seeks to discern the actual benefits and liabilities of Verbal Aspect Theory(VAT) for NT exegesis by examining its application in Ciampa and Rosner’s Commentaryon 1 Corinthians. They apply VAT to four primary areas: the explanation of Aktionsart, timeand verb tense, present and aorist imperatives, and the perfect tense. The article concludesthat a helpful nuance is gained by the use of VAT, though some need for consistency andclarity remains. On the other hand, VAT may at times result in a flattened interpretationof Greek verbs because in some areas VAT provides limited interpretive options that do notalways best explain the data.
