Eisegesis is reading foreign meaning into the text.[1] In case of Bible, imposing own interpretation into and onto the text by reader, saying that it means what it does not mean (reader-response Biblical interpretation)[2] is severely condemned according to many literalist readings of the text of the Book of Deuteronomy and the Book of Revelation[3]
