“Exegesis versus eisegesis. The question is, are you reading from Scripture, out of it, or reading into it? … My desire impelled me into the world of exegesis and away from its evil doppelganger eisegesis. I want to submit to the text, not make the text submit to me. But how can I make sure to exegete and not eisegete?” - Ward on Words

Body
“I want to submit to the text, not make the text submit to me. But how can I make sure to exegete and not eisegete? Ultimately, the direction of your heart—toward the Lord or toward some other God—will determine whether you truly listen to his speech in Scripture.” - Mark Ward
Did David rape Bathsheba?
Body
“If reasonable arguments can be made exegetically then perhaps we ought not to anathematize people who believe differently than we do on issues such as this. Perhaps someone can believe that David and Bathsheba committed adultery and still support the #metoo and #churchtoo moments.” - Dave Miller
