Eisegesis means "reading in" and refers to the practice of inserting your own ideas into a text. It leads inexorably to erroneous interpretations, in that the practice does not allow the Bible to speak to you on its own terms, but instead through the filter of preconceived ideas and even worldview. Platonist philosophy may have influenced people to adopt the practice of allegorical interpretation and abandon the more historical/grammatical approach of [[exegesis]]. | Eisegesis means "reading in" and refers to the practice of inserting your own ideas into a text.
