Brian used to talk a lot about teaching people to do exegesis he still talks about it some, kind of like a pet peeve or passion of his, to help people learn how to draw out from scripture what God put there rather than what so many people do when they read into scripture what is not there.

A friend once said: "That is not in the bible!" often means, "I've never heard of or thought about that interpretation before..."

Is not all exegesis interpretation? IF not, then must I call all exegesis that does not agree with me eisegesis?  Can I not decide if I am getting an interpretation of a verse from the Spirit through the verse? Or must I always decide that if I am not agreeing with someone I am putting my interpretation onto the verse, not getting it out of the verse?

Which demands the question:whose interpretation must I 'get out' of a verse?? Catholic, Calvin or Arminius ? (just to stay mainstream and not go into the cults). Every one of them claim to be using the technique of exegesis, not eisegesis, though they all differ in interpretation and scold me for eisegesis whenever I differ from them, sigh.

It seems like the tough stance on exegesis is to control all thought into the parameters of only one theology...if someone is off a bit - the war cry of eisegesis must go up! What is the proof that my different opinion on the meaning of a verse is from myself, man made, and not from the Spirit? Only that it disagrees with the expert who is reading it, sigh.[/quote] we talked about this the other day...there is a difference between comprehension which purposes to know what the author intended and interpretation which is what I as the reader wants it to say.  Exegesis if used correctly is about comprehension whereas eisegesis is about interpretation.  You are right that way too many people use the terms wrong.
