Exegesis (from the {{Greek Name|ἐξηγεῖσθαι|exēgēisthai}}; "[[Name means::to lead out]]") is a critical interpretation of any text or specific parts within the text especially of religious books such as the [[Bible]] or [[Qur'an]]. An extensive investigation of the original meaning of a text in its many contexts is guided by the dominant position held within [[Christianity]] for interpretation which is known as the ''historical-grammatical method''. A critical method of interpretation when applied to the Bible traditionally is referred to as liberal Christianity. A person who is skilled in the [[science]] of exegesis is known as an exegete. The opposite of exegesis would be [[eisegesis]].
