Biblical exegesis
From Free net encyclopedia
Biblical exegesis (from the Greek ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') is an extensive and critical interpretation of the Bible.
An exegete is a person skilled in the science of interpretation.
The word exegesis means to draw the meaning out of a given text. It is sometimes contrasted with eisegesis, which means to read one's own interpretation into a given text. In general, exegesis presumes an attempt to view the text objectively, while eisegesis is more subjective.
