 : ''Main Article: [[Exegesis]]''
-Exegesis (from the {{Greek Name|ἐξηγεῖσθαι|exēgēisthai}}; "[[Name means::to lead out]]") is a critical explanation, exposition, commentary or interpretation of any text or specific parts within, especially religious books such as the [[Bible]] or [[Qur'an]]. A person who is skilled in the technical reading of biblical texts, or exegesis is known as an exegete. The opposite of exegesis would be eisegesis.
+Exegesis (from the {{Greek Name|ἐξηγεῖσθαι|exēgēisthai}}; "[[Name means::to lead out]]") is a critical exposition, commentary or interpretation of ancient texts, especially religious books such as the [[Bible]] or [[Qur'an]]. The opposite of an exegetical reading of Scripture is [[eisegesis]], and instead of reading out what the text plainly presents, it reads into the text what the reader is influenced by.
