My personal study and discovery allow me to handle the word of God correctly. Yet many preachers today (majority) still an eisegete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Exegesis and eisegesis are two conflicting approaches in Bible study. Exegesis is the exposition or explanation of a text based on a careful, objective analysis. The word exegesis literally means \u201cto lead out of.\u201d That means that the interpreter is led to his conclusions by following the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The opposite approach to Scripture is eisegesis, which is the interpretation of a passage based on a subjective, non-analytical reading. The word eisegesis literally means \u201cto lead into,\u201d which means the interpreter injects his own ideas into the text, making it mean whatever he wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Obviously, only exegesis does justice to the text. Eisegesis is a mishandling of the text and often leads to a misinterpretation. Exegesis is concerned with discovering the true meaning of the text, respecting its grammar, syntax, and setting. Eisegesis is concerned only with making a point, even at the expense of the meaning of words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Second Timothy 2:15 commands us to use exegetical methods: \u201cStudy to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.\u201d An honest student of the Bible will be an exegete, allowing the text to speak for itself. Eisegesis easily lends itself to error, as the would-be interpreter attempts to align the text with his own preconceived notions. Exegesis allows us to agree with the Bible; eisegesis seeks to force the Bible to agree with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The process of exegesis involves 1) observation: what does the passage say? 2) interpretation: what does the passage mean? 3) correlation: how does the passage relate to the rest of the Bible? and 4) application: how should this passage affect my life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Eisegesis, on the other hand, involves 1) imagination: what idea do I want to present? 2) exploration: what Scripture passage seems to fit with my idea? and 3) application: what does my idea mean? Notice that, in eisegesis, there is no examination of the words of the text or their relationship to each other, no cross-referencing with related passages, and no real desire to understand the actual meaning. Scripture serves only as a prop to the interpreter\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> To illustrate, let\u2019s use both approaches in the treatment of one passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 2 Chronicles 27:1-2<br> \u201cJotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother&#8217;s name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> EISEGESIS<br> First, the interpreter decides on a topic. Today, it\u2019s \u201cThe Importance of Church Attendance.\u201d The interpreter reads 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 and sees that King Jotham was a good king, just like his father Uzziah had been, except for one thing: he didn\u2019t go to the temple! This passage seems to fit his idea, so he uses it. The resulting sermon deals with the need for passing on godly values from one generation to the next. Just because King Uzziah went to the temple every week didn\u2019t mean that his son would continue the practice. In the same way, many young people today tragically turn from their parents\u2019 training, and church attendance drops off. The sermon ends with a question: \u201cHow many blessings did Jotham fail to receive, simply because he neglected church?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Certainly, there is nothing wrong with preaching about church attendance or the transmission of values. And a cursory reading of 2 Chronicles 27:1-2 seems to support that passage as an apt illustration. However, the above interpretation is totally wrong. For Jotham not to go to the temple was not wrong; in fact, it was very good, as the proper approach to the passage will show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> EXEGESIS<br> First, the interpreter reads the passage and, to fully understand the context, he reads the histories of both Uzziah and Jotham (2 Chronicles 26-27; 2 Kings 15:1-6, 32-38). In his observation, he discovers that King Uzziah was a good king who nevertheless disobeyed the Lord when he went to the temple and offered incense on the altar\u2014something only a priest had the right to do (2 Chronicles 26:16-20). Uzziah\u2019s pride and his contamination of the temple resulted in his having \u201cleprosy until the day he died\u201d (2 Chronicles 26:21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Needing to know why Uzziah spent the rest of his life in isolation, the interpreter studies Leviticus 13:46 and does some research on leprosy. Then he compares the use of illness as a punishment in other passages, such as 2 Kings 5:27; 2 Chronicles 16:12; and 21:12-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> By this time, the exegete understands something important: when the passage says Jotham \u201cdid not enter the temple of the LORD,\u201d it means he did not repeat his father\u2019s mistake. Uzziah had proudly usurped the priest\u2019s office; Jotham was more obedient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The resulting sermon might deal with the Lord\u2019s discipline of His children, with the blessing of total obedience, or with our need to learn from the mistakes of the past rather than repeat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Of course, exegesis takes more time than eisegesis. But if we are to be those unashamed workmen \u201cwho correctly handle the word of truth,\u201d then we must take the time to truly understand the text. Exegesis is the only way.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ufi\/reaction\/profile\/browser\/?ft_ent_identifier=ZmVlZGJhY2s6MTAyMTIzMzc5MjMyNTkzOTM%3D&amp;av=1118900824\">3You, Rodger Haas and Corky Gonzales<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top\/?q=eisegesis&amp;epa=FILTERS&amp;filters=eyJycF9hdXRob3IiOiJ7XCJuYW1lXCI6XCJhdXRob3JfbWVcIixcImFyZ3NcIjpcIlwifSJ9#\">LikeCommentShare<\/a>; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top\/?q=eisegesis&amp;epa=FILTERS&amp;filters=eyJycF9hdXRob3IiOiJ7XCJuYW1lXCI6XCJhdXRob3JfbWVcIixcImFyZ3NcIjpcIlwifSJ9 July 30, 2018 \u00b7 Dennis Remorta Tahadlangit July 28, 2018 Are you an exegete or eisegete?
