Introduction
Exegesis and Eisegesis are both ways of studying the Bible. However it is important to know what these words mean, and the kind of Bible study that emerges from using them. In this article I will break down the differences between Exegesis and Eisegesis and what kind of study should be used to be sure of correct Biblical Understanding, a term called Hermeneutics.
Exegesis or Eisegesis for Proper Hermeneutics?
In the very definition of the word Exegesis we find it’s meaning to be literally- [Greek, exegeomai, = ex “to explain”, or “to take from”; and hegeomai, “to lead”, “to guide”].
This means that Exegetical study and the conclusion of it come from simply reading the text, and taking note of what is revealed from a natural reading.
In the very definition of the word Eisegesis we find it’s meaning to be literally- [Greek, eisagogilos, from eisago, “to introduce” = eis, “in”, “into”, and ago = “to lead”].
This means the Eisegetical Bible study is when an interpreter or person in Bible study reads (introduces) their ideas into the text.
The picture below is from A Meme For A Day SDA’s Facebook page (SDA is Seventh-Day Adventist) and is a good and clear teaching of both Exegesis and Eisegesis. It looks specifically at Genesis 2:2-3 a key SDA verse used to teach that the Sabbath Day was instituted in Genesis. The SDA church uses Eisegesis as their way of studying the Bible, they inject their ideas into the text.

Introduction
Hello everyone, I’m sorry this took so long to get online but I’ve been putting it off to be honest because I wanted to be sure to get it right. Just today I realized that I should simply get it up, as God has already prepared the hearts of those who are going to read it and find perhaps some more clarity and depth to the Word than they realized. I hope this ongoing study blesses you as much as it does me.
How I’ll Break Up Each Study
A short word is needed to clarify how I’ll arrange each study even though it might in the end seem exceedingly obvious. Basically I’ll take a section of scripture generally no longer than 7 verses and I’ll put the whole scripture at the top of the study. After this I’ll then break it down one verse at a time with the notes following each individual verse. Finally I’ll do a recap of the most important things we’ve learned from the study of this section of scripture.
John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
