In Verbal Aspect in Synoptic Parallels Wally Cirafesi answers the question of why the Synoptic Gospels at times employ different tense-forms to communicate the same action. The problem has typically been explained from the perspective of redaction criticism and temporal Aktionsart approaches to the Greek verb. Cirafesi challenges these approaches by reframing the discussion in terms of recent advances in verbal aspect theory and discourse analysis. He convincingly demonstrates that such differences in tense-form usage have to do with how each Gospel writer wishes to construct their discourses according to various levels of linguistic prominence.

Wally V. Cirafesi is a graduate of McMaster Divinity College, where he is also an Adjunct Instructor. He is Associate Editor of the journal Biblical and Ancient Greek Linguistics, and has published articles in journals such as New Testament Studies, Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism, Journal for the Study of Paul and his Letters, and Biblical and Ancient Greek Linguistics.
