Introduction
Exegesis
refers to the critical study of a text, in our case the Bible. "Critical
study" can be done in a multitude of ways, depending on the types
of questions one wants to ask. These various ways of approaching
a text are referred to as exegetical or critical methods. A
list of some of these methods follows. The links provide full descriptions
of the methods, guidelines for using them, and bibliographies.
Some
general resources for interpretation of Tanak and the New Testament
