<p>MarkHarris: expanding upon exegesis</p> <hr /> <div>Biblical '''Exegesis''' is the critical (thorough) interpretation of texts in the [[Bible]]. The term is taken from the [[Greek]] word ἐξηγεῖσθαι, which means &quot;to lead out.&quot; The primary reason for exegesis is to determine the meaning of the text, and this determination leads to discovering its significance or relevance. For conservative evangelicals, the meaning of the text is anchored in authorial intent. That is, the goal in exegetical analysis is to discover what the original author meant to the original audience in the time frame that it was written. After the meaning is determined, then principles are drawn from the meaning and applied to the present day and culture.<br /> <br /> The process of exegesis include key word studies, analysis of grammatical and syntactical features, examination of the history, background and origins of the text, and determination of literary genre.<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Christian Terms]]<br /> [[Category:Bible Study]]</div>

<p>MarkHarris: Adding a brief definition of hermeneutics</p> <hr /> <div>{{Bible}}<br /> Biblical Hermeneutics is the study of the interpretation of Scriptures. Hermeneutics is often referred to as both a science and an art. It is a science because there are specific rules concerning hermeneutics. It is also an art because the task of hermeneutics is not a mechanical, dry procedure. As Henry Virkler said, communication is flexible.<br /> <br /> The first half of the process of hermeneutics is referred to as exegesis. The goal of exegesis is to discover the meaning of the text through the author's intent. Once the meaning is discovered, then the principles are applied. This application of the principles is the second half of the process of hermeneutics, referred to as contextualization.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Sola scriptura]]<br /> ==References==<br /> *[http://www.klove.com/promodetails.aspx?i=779 How to Study the Bible]<br /> [[Category:Bible]]<br /> [[Category:Christian Theology]]</div>
