WORD OF THE DAY

Exegesis

n. pron. [ek-se-jee-ses]

from the Greek exegeisthai, meaning to explain or interpret.
With respect to biblical interpretation, it involves the process of critical analysis of the given text to produces direct, logical conclusions (utilizing the who, what when, where, why method). It often involves the evaluation of the original texts of the Bible (OT-Hebrew, NT-Greek).
Read why good exegesis does not always produce good theology.
