  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Biblical Exegesis
Exegesis is the branch of theology which investigates and expresses the true sense of Sacred Scripture.
Exegesis aims at investigating the sense of Sacred Scripture; its method is contained in the rules of interpretation; its results are expressed in the various ways in which the sense of the Bible is wont to be communicated; its history comprises the work done by Christian and Jewish interpreters, by Catholics and Protestants.
Catholic exegesis subsequent to the Council of Trent may be divided into three stages: the first may be regarded as the terminus of the Scholastic period; the second forms the transition from the old to the new exegesis; and the third comprises the exegetical work of recent times.

 Thematic Exegesis According to Martyr Sadr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Thematic exegesis is the method to recognize, interpret and make clear a subject mentioned in the Holy Qur'an by taking note of verses which bear commonality and share a purport or have a phraseology which helps determine the topic.
Moreover, exegesis in order of the traditional arrangement cannot meet the present needs of the society since it deals with each and every ayah in a separate and disintegrated form and simply presents a large number of unrelated guidelines, injunctions and concepts without analysing the viewpoints of Qur'an on a particular issue.
In contrast to the method of tartibi exegesis which might have a variety of approaches depending on the school of ijtihad of the exegete or his philosophical, gnostic, mystical, scientific, historical and various other leanings, thematic exegesis is free of such shades.

 Tess Brady Exegesis
An exegesis which accompanies a creative work and is written by the creator of that work, should not, for example, pre-empt the critic and offer a review of the creative work.
The exegesis then, since it is written by the creator of the work, should not be a criticism of the work after the normal fashion of the critical review.
Since this exegesis relies and draws upon a reader's knowledge of the novel, it is suggested that the novel be read before the exegesis.

 H. Utzchneider, "Text - Reader - Author: Towards a Theory of Exegesis: Some European Viewpoints
On the fringes of scientific exegesis, forms of contextual exegesis have evolved­the exegesis initiated by liberation theology, for example, or feminist exegesis, psychoanalytical exegesis, biblio-drama­all forms which have a considerable fascination for the academic and the non-academic public.
The task of a "theory of exegesis" would therefore be to construct a system of co-ordinates which would offer a basis for transformations of the traditional questions in keeping with the times, and would make it possible to integrate recent scientific trends, as well as the dialogue with contextual approaches.
Diachronic exegesis is inconceivable without synchronic elements­that is to say, without taking account of the linguistic form of the presently existing text; and conversely, synchronic exegesis cannot deny­and generally has no wish to deny­the complex history of the text's development.

 Scientific exegesis of the Qur'an—a viable project? Islam & Science - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The principal conclusion reached is that, while the case for such tafsir is, at present, rather weak, a credible tafsir 'ilmi may come into existence if it is authentically anchored in the larger Islamic tradition.
1505)--may be cited as supporting the idea of scientific exegesis of the Qur'an, tafsir 'ilmi is obviously not a historically well established area; only in modern times has a relatively sustained attempt been made to establish it as an independent discipline, on a par with other types of tafsir.
The historical absence of a well-defined field of tafsir 'ilmi would seem to cast suspicion on the project that such tafsir represents, for such tafsir, one is tempted to think, lacks the sanction of tradition.

 Cardinal Ratzinger, Biblical Exegesis and the Church, TCRNews,   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Needless to say, any lecture given by the head of what was formerly known as The Holy Office and which promised to be examining and critiquing the very “foundations” of modern exegesis (which today is completely identified with the so-called historical-critical method) was bound to raise eyebrows and cause no little commotion.
The kind of criticism that the former theology professor called for is one that would aim at and be able to expose the “appearance of quasi-clinical-scientific certainty” which posed as the method for so long.
Ratzinger is confident that such a critique will give the lie to the notion of pure objectivity as an “absurd abstraction”, and show that “every exegesis requires an ‘inter’, an entering in, and a being ‘inter’ or between things; this is the involvement of the interpreter himself.

So exegesis is simply the business of leading ourselves or others out of ignorance into understanding; specifically, it is the process of beginning with a passage of Scripture and discovering its meaning(s), of making the opaque transparent, translucent.
This task is broken down into seven distinct elements: survey; analysis of the context; analysis of the form, structure, and movement of the text; detailed analysis of the text; synthesis; reflection on the text for today; and expansion and refinement of the exegesis.
Gorman's book is an excellent tool for teaching the basics of exegesis to college students with little to no background in critical biblical studies.
