  Exegesis (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exegesis is an 8,000 page journal kept by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, documenting his alleged communication with a God/VALIS/"Zebra" entity.
Dick was a student of philosophy and religion, which has a clear impact on his writings.
In the Pursuit of VALIS: Selections from the Exegesis was published in 1991.

 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.

Structure: The book is structured according to the steps one follows in doing exegesis, and it appears as if Fee intends the student or pastor to have the Bible in one hand, his text in the other, and various resources like Aland, a Greek English dictionary, a Synopsis, and other resources on the desk.
This book is an addition to the Abingdon Preacher’s Library volumes written to enable preachers and seminary students to understand preaching in its historical setting; to examine its biblical and theological underpinnings; to explore its spiritual, relational, and liturgical dimensions; and to develop insights into its craft.
Exegesis is a transliterated Greek word meaning "to bring out something." In the biblical context it tries to deal with the questions clustering around a concern for what the biblical writer meant and how the meaning was understood by those who first heard it.

 VALIS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VALIS is the first book in an unfinished trilogy that (together with his thematically related final novel) represents Dick's last major work before he died.
Even though the book is written in first person, for most of the book Dick treats Horselover Fat as a separate person, describing conversations and even arguments with him, and criticizing his opinions and writings; this can all be viewed by the reader as a form of mental illness.
Near the end of the book the messianic figure cures him (temporarily), and he describes his surprise that Horselover Fat has suddenly disappeared from his side.

The book includes a suggested reconstruction of the original Hebrew text with emphasis on the differences between the Septuagint and the Masoretic texts, extensive explanatory notes and comparisons with other ancient exegesis and textual sources.
The exegesis of Rashbam is outlined as a whole, with special emphasis on two essential principles which guide his interpretative approach: the will to be a full participant in the renaissance of the 12th century, and the need to respond to the Christian religious polemic against the Jews.

The book also has a wealth of information and it particularly focuses on information that is needed by the reader for using the Greek New Testament and for forming a sound and independent judgment on the many different kinds of variant readings characteristic of the New Testament textual tradition.
While his emphasis is that exegesis is done in order to get to the final step, applying this passage to today, he wants the reader to rely on their own exegetical work, rather than the preaching commentaries that are available.
His chapter on exegesis for sermon preparation answered my question on how is a pastor supposed to find time to do all the steps, while his chapter with examples clarified and reinforced the steps of the exegetical method.

 Halivni, David Weiss; Halivi, David Weiss: Peshat and Derash: Plain and Applied Meaning in Rabbinic Exegesis
Peshat and Derash is the first book to trace the Jewish interpretative enterprise from a historical perspective.
Applying his vast knowledge of Rabbinic materials to the long history of Jewish exegesis of both Bible and Talmud, Halivni investigates the tension that has often existed between the plain sense of the divine text (peshat) and its creative, Rabbinic interpretations (derash).
Halivni addresses the theological implications of the deviation of derash from peshat and explores the differences between the ideological extreme of the religious right, which denies that Judaism has a history, and the religious left, which claims that history is all that Judaism has.

 Salon.com Books | The book of the century
If T.A. Shippey's "J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century" is not quite that book, it is nonetheless a delightful exploration of the relationship between Tolkien's fiction and his scholarly work and of the mythical, linguistic and philosophical history underlying both.
It is also a crusade in a supremely Tolkienian spirit, on behalf of the dying academic discipline of philology, or the anatomy and history of languages.
Shippey doesn't quite put it this way, but his book, especially read in conjunction with Humphrey Carpenter's admirable 1977 biography and the Carpenter-edited volume of Tolkien's letters, suggests that Tolkien's immense popularity, and the animosity he continues to engender in some quarters, stem from some essential contradictions in the man and his work.

 katagrapho » A Beginner’s Guide to NT Exegesis
After twenty years of teaching exegesis and several years of using and adapting Gordon Fee’s Handbook, Erickson decided to write a guide to NT exegesis that would not be so overwhelming for the beginning student.
The task of exegesis, Erickson claims, is “to project us back into that ancient world.” (21) This task requires skills in the orginal languages and a certain distance between ourselves and the text.
The chapter helpfully ends with a brief step-by-step approach to a simplified exegesis of an epistle (something this reader wishes he had done for the other two NT genres).

This book's target audience is an academic one whose end to exegesis will be a paper (or an expository sermon), but as a layman I have found it to be extremely helpful, even indispensable, in my exegetical endeavors to better learn and therefore accurately apply the Word of God.
However the book should not be condemned simply because the method of presentation (which is a highly effective one) could be taken by the cold hearts of some to their folly.
This is a book that will help equip the reader with the ability to conduct responsible exegesis, and will also equip the reader to effectively and intelligently critique other books and articles that fail to substantively engage the text.

 Qur'anic Studies - The Evolving Nature of Qur’anic Exegesis
As a divine book, the Qur'an is a book of endless miracles.
Clearly, the availability of a large collection of interpretational books -- even within the same doctrine -- and the presence of many interpretations within the same book reflect the fact that there is nothing called "the Prophet's interpretation of the Qur'an" that everyone could have simply learned or copied.
Qur'anic exegesis has evolved by a principle known as "ijtihad", or the use of one's knowledge, reasoning, and best judgment to offer his or her view on a matter, including interpreting the Qur'anic text.

Spaltenstein's volume, which devotes 282 pages to Book 1, is unlikely to be superseded as it is, in most respects, a more rigorous and incisive piece of scholarship.
In laying out the commentary, K. divides Book 1 into four major sections: 1-21 ("Prooemium"), 22-349 ("Thessaly"), 350-699 ("Outward bound"), 700-850 ("Home and Parents"), the first three of which are further divided into subsections.
The earlier commentaries, both by H. Wijsman, are on Books 5 (1996) and 6 (2000).

 Protestant Reformed Theological Journal: November 2003
As to the exegesis of Scripture, Calvin clung tenaciously to the literal meaning of the text, while Aquinas believed that three additional senses could be discovered on the basis of the literal meaning.
Regardless of whether one agrees with Calvin’s exegesis of this passage or not, it indicates that he is not overreacting to this controversy by rejecting the Bible’s use of righteousness in places as describing the believer’s godly life.
It stands to reason that now the question was no longer one of unprejudiced exegesis of the text in Genesis 1, but that it became rather a question whether the first chapter of Genesis could be so explained that it was brought into harmony with the so-called facts of modern science.
