WHAT IS EXEGESIS? What is the difference between Eisegesis [ahy’ si jee’ sis] and Exegesis [ek’ si jee’ sis]? Eisegesis is reading into Scripture that which we WANT the Bible to say. "Exe" is where we get the word, "exit.” Exegesis mean allowing Scripture to speak out (exit) to us, letting us know the truth we are supposed to believe and what we are to understand about life. The exegetical approach to the Bible is where we let it speak out to us to define what is true. We do not read into it!
