Exegesis (also known as the Historical-grammatical method) is a critical interpretation of any text, especially of religious texts such as the [[Bible]] or [[Qur'an]]. More specificically it is an extensive investigation of the original meaning of a text in its historical and literary contexts. A person who is skilled in the science of exegesis is known as an exegete. The opposite of this would be [[eisegesis]]. | |||
An important principle of exegesis is determining the meaning an author wished to convey to the audience. It is quite right to use the historians principle of giving more historical weight to those who have more historical immediacy in order to determine what the original intention of the audience views was. It is notable that the [[young earth|young age view]] was held by the early church as well as early Jewish religous leaders. | |||
