Exegesis vs. Eisegesis // S11E12

I’m not David, you’re not David, duh. So what are we even talking about? What does identifying with the trials and victories of David, or any other individual in scripture have to do with exegesis and eisegesis? What even are exegesis and eisegesis? How are they used? Should one or the other be avoided? All this and more in todays episode as we break down this idea of interpretation that is so highly controversial and polarizing in the church today.

Verses from Is “You’re not David” even Biblical?:

John 14:2, Ephesians 1:13, 2 Timothy 2:15, Acts 17:11, 2 Chronicles 27:1-2, Acts 15:36-41,

Quotes from todays episode:

“We just simply need to put on the armor of God!… Why would we have all these military analogies in the Bible and about battles? Because that’s what this is”

Shea Watson, The Pantry Podcast, Is “You’re not David” even Biblical?

“At the end of the day, I thinks it’s important for us to humbly read scripture. Not pridefully go in there, not self-obsessively go in there and say “oh well I’m David and that person at work, they’re Goliath.” That is wrong, that’s not how we are supposed to look at things.”
