I've seen some discussion (in commentaries) on FANEROW & APOKALUPTW that
emphasizes the verb tense distinctions. I'm curious about the way these two
terms are used...in light of Louw/Nida semantical categories...putting
FANEROW into the realm of senses (and BDAG's entry stressing FANEROW relates
more to the senses...and L/N's putting APOKALUPTW into the realm of knowing
something without specific reference to the senses.
What implications does this give in context? Is Paul emphasizing something
with FANEROW that is not known in the sense of APOKALUPTW...but perhaps an
event that was seen physically as well? Also, does the use of the perfect
tense here verses the present tense for Romans 1:17-18 intensify this
possibility?

Thank you!
