ex-e-gete \ek-sə-jēt\ n (ca. 1736) : one who practices exegesis, the process of explaining or critically interpreting a text

In naming this blog the "exegete post", I fear I am running the risk of trying to sound intellectual. The trust is, I learned this word as I was trying to come up with a name for the blog, and its only purpose is to push the limits of my understanding of the scriptures.

I invite anyone interested to join me in what I hope turns into an ongoing dialogue about the interpretation and application of scripture. Please email me any ideas or insights you have, so I can post them on the blog. The only rule is to cite the source of any evidence you rely on, particularly when you appeal to a classical language.
