EXEGESIS - <blockquote><p></p>Exegesis is when a person interprets a text based solely on what it says. That is, he extracts out of the text what is there as opposed to reading into it what is not there. There are rules to proper exegesis: read the immediate context, related themes, word definitions, etc., that all play a part in properly understanding what something says and does not say.</p></blockquote> [source](https://carm.org/dictionary-theology-0)

EISEGESIS - <blockquote></p>Eisegesis is when a person interprets and reads information into the text that is not there. An example would be in viewing 1 Cor. 8:5 which says, "For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many," (KJV). With this verse, Mormons, for example, bring their preconceived idea of the existence of many gods to this text and assert that it says there are many gods. But that is not what it says. It says that there are many that are called gods. Being called a god doesn't make something an actual god. Therefore, the text does not teach what the Mormons say, and they are guilty of eisegesis, that is, reading into the text what it does not say.</p></blockquote> [source](https://carm.org/dictionary-theology-0)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  I thought placing a disclaimer stating where the word and definition is coming from would be sufficient.  When I started the "Theological Word of the Day", I clearly stated that the definitions were going to be taken from CARM.  Plagiarism was not the intention.  Please provide some instruction on how to properly source unoriginal material.  Are there articles on steemit with instructions?  Is this addressed in the FAQ?  I would like to resolve this.  Thank you.

Thank you again for another theological word of the day!

I have a disagreement with the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry Dictionary of Theology's example of eisegesis concerning the idea of the existence of many gods.

>Mormons, for example, bring their preconceived idea of the existence of many gods to this text

I wrote a post about it!

I do not see eye to eye with CARM on many things.  Remember that "Greek mindset" you brought up?  It's quite prevalent at CARM.  It is a site loaded with information.  No doubt about that.  There is a lot of great information at CARM.  I would recommend it as a resource for research.  However, it's not the only place someone seeking truth should go.  Thanks for commenting!

I look forward to reading your post.  Bless the Most High brother!
