Exegesis

Exegesis is the careful process of interpreting and explaining a text, especially religious scriptures or ancient writings. It involves analyzing the language, context, and historical background to understand the original meaning intended by the author. The goal is to uncover the text’s underlying messages and significance, avoiding personal biases. Exegesis requires scholarly study and critical thinking to provide a well-informed explanation that respects the text’s original purpose and context. It is commonly used in religious studies to deepen understanding of sacred texts and their relevance today.
