-Biblical '''Exegesis''' is the critical (thorough) interpretation of texts in the [[Bible]]. The term is taken from the [[Greek]] word ἐξηγεῖσθαι, which means "to lead out." 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.
