Exegesis & Spirituality

"The ultimate aim of all true exegesis is spirituality.
Only when exegesis is so understood
has the exegetical task been done
in a way
that is faithful to the intent of the text itself."

Yea. It's sad that nowadays, exegesis is being abandoned by many who profess the faith.

Recent news. Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) say exegesis is no longer needed. How sad.

Great quote!

ignoring exegesis would be tantamount to embracing relativity in Biblical interpretation... dangerous...
