1 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | djconklin | 32081 | ||
"When the uninformed dissenters wax skeptical of the truth of Scripture, they invariably cite the "two" accounts of creation and Noah's flood, about neither of which are they likely to be able to produce an ounce of proof to justify their ton of doubt" Amen, Hank! "I have seen on this very forum page after page of exegesis -- an adultered application of the true meaning of the word .." An exegesis couldn't do such a thing; what you saw was eisegesis (reading meaning into the text) |

djconklin, thank you kindly for your "Amen" to a segment of my post, but thank you all the more for your adding a much-needed clarity to my statement regarding exegesis and pointing out that eisegesis is the intended meaning. What I was hoping to convey, but now I see how fractured a job of it I did, was that I was using exegesis in an adultered sense of the real meaning of the word, i.e., of the word exegesis itself. Now I see wherein the the term "the word" could well be taken to mean the word of God -- not the intended meaning at all. A far better and clearer construction might be "What is posted as exegesis is nothing more than eisegesis." On second thought, perhaps not: Two "gesis" words in the same sentence might prove too weighty a fare for some readers to digest at one sitting! :-) At all events, dj, I appreciate and thank you for your post and am truly grateful that you brought my attention to a locution in which neither I nor my English professors of days long past can stake any real pride! Soli Deo Gloria! --Hank | ||||||
