CR65-Don’t Put Words in God’s Mouth- The Battle of Exegesis vs. Eisegesis

Kevin Inman — Fri, 22 May 2026 04:01:03 +0000

CR65-Don’t Put Words in God’s Mouth: The Battle of Exegesis vs. Eisegesis The episode dives into the critical distinction between exegesis and eisegesis, emphasizing the importance of context in biblical interpretation. Imagery of a coffee shop sets the stage for discussing how context shapes understanding. The host defines exegesis as leading out the meaning from the text, contrasting it with eisegesis, which imposes personal desires onto scripture. The conversation highlights the dangers of eisegesis, noting its popularity due to its ease and the temptation to make oneself the hero of biblical narratives. Practical examples illustrate the focus on God's glory rather than personal empowerment.
