	AhlulBayt Islamic Mission - AIM Islam - Thematic Approach to Qur'anic Exegesis
		In this, the role of the text is similar to that of a speaker, and the exegete's passive duty is to listen with attention and to comprehend.
		The exegete studies his topic by relating it, within the limits of his capacity, t the imperfect intellectual experience of mankind as represented by the correct and incorrect viewpoints of various thinkers, focusing the light shed by them on the problem at hand.
		The expression istintaq used by 'Ali, the son of the Qur'an, is the most splendid term describing the function of thematic tafsir as a dialogue with the Qur'an, posing the problems of a particular subject to it with the purpose of eliciting Qur'anic replies to them.

	Theodore Of Mopsuestia - LoveToKnow 1911
		Soon, however, he attached himself to the school of the great exegete and ascetic, Diodorus, a presbyter in Antioch, and with only a transitory period of vacillation, from which he was won back by Chrysostom, he remained faithful to the theology and ascetic discipline of this master.
		Under Diodorus he became a skilful exegete, and ultimately outstripped his master in biblical learning.
		He wrote commentaries on almost every book of the Old and New Testaments, of which, however, only a small proportion is now extant, as at a later period he lost credit in the church.

	A History of the Interpretation of the Bible and Swedenborg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		An exegete or interpreter is concerned more about what the text meant in its original setting than what it has meant for any other group of readers including those of his contemporary age.
		And finally, the exegetes were going beyond the boundary of sense as they increasingly ignored the literal meaning of texts in favor of their own speculations.
		Whereas the seventeenth century exegetes had noticed differences in the text which led to the hypothesis of different sources, the critical methodology for this determination was formed in the eighteenth century.

	Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Historicity of the Gospels
		The Catholic exegete, under the guidance of the Church, should take advantage of all the contributions made by earlier commentators, by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church in particular, and carry on their work.
		In short the exegete will use any and every means which will enable him to acquire a deeper insight into the nature of the gospel testimony the religious life of the early churches, and the meaning and value of the apostolic tradition.
		Thus the exegete, by scrutinizing the testimony of the Evangelists over and over again will be able to illustrate more clearly the perennial theological value of the Gospels as well as the importance and necessity of the Church's interpretation.

		The exegete must then be conscious of their own historical setting, and especially modern science, as they examine the Scriptures.
		It is first noted that the exegete is involved in an "ecclesial task" (105) because they must strive to communicate their findings to all the members of the Church.
		The Catholic exegete, according to the Commission, must also hold firm in their mind the principle of Augustine, "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and the Old becomes clear in the New" (107).

	Religious Significance of Peshat
		By virtue of his understanding and on the strength of his exegetical principles he may sometimes permit himself to assert that a certain part of the tradition is not anchored in the text.
		The peshat exegete must uphold the actuality of certain passages in spite of the grave valuative difficulties that stem from this actuality, and he must suspect the historical reality of other passages in spite of the challenge to faith that is entailed by this doubt.
		The contemporary Biblical exegete is caught between the historical outlook that forces itself upon him with the power of conviction and his steadfast faith in the everlasting message of the Bible.

		He explained that a gap exists between exegetical method as it is taught in seminaries and the reality of sermon preparation.
		Exegetical theology serves to bridge the gap between the technical analysis of a biblical passage and the pastoral and devotional application of the passage to the hearts of people in worship.
		And so the exegete is a testimony in the midst of the confusion of Postmodernism that true truth exists, that it is accessible and that it is communicable.

		exegete is from Greek exegetes, from the verb exegeisthai, "to interpret," and is related to exegesis.

	Chapter 7: The Interpretation of Sacred Scripture
		In the performance of this task let the interpreters bear in mind that their foremost and greatest endeavor should be to discern and define clearly that sense of the biblical words which is called literal.
		The exegete will certainly take into account the data of the positive and empirical sciences - this is often very helpful for determining the literal meaning of a text - but he must also go beyond them into the wider perspectives of theology and, ultimately, into the service of the Church and souls.
		Apart from the magisterial documents that pertain directly to his text, the Catholic exegete should be aware of the recent papal and ecclesial documents regarding biblical studies in general.

	The Role of Faculty in the Catholic University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The exegete is one of the persons who facilitate the study of the Bible—the scholarly expert, so to speak—but certainly not the only one who has access to the soul of theology.
		In fact, the primary task of the exegete is to provide others with the means whereby they can study the Bible in a meaningful and relevant way and thus gain access to the soul of theology.
		Finally, the biblical exegete assists in interpretation of the text in order to make the message of the biblical text speak in a way that is meaningful and relevant to the local culture ("The Interpretation of the Bible," IV.B).

	HISTORICAL TRUTH OF THE GOSPELS
		Finally, the exegete will use all the means available to probe more deeply into the nature of Gospel testimony, into the religious life of the early churches, And into the sense and the value of apostolic tradition.
		For the truth of the story is not at all affected by the fact that the Evangelists relate the words and deeds of the Lord in a different order,[23] and express his sayings not literally but differently, while preserving (their) sense.
		Unless the exegete pays attention to all these things which pertain to the origin and composition of the Gospels and makes proper use of all the laudable achievements of recent research, he will not fulfil his task of probing into what the sacred writers intended and what they really said.

	Paper: "Obedience to Political Authority: An Evolutionary Concept" by Asma Afsaruddin - May 16, 2003 - ...
		He notes that various exegetes have been of the opinion that "uli 'l-amr" indicates the Rightly-Guided Caliphs; others regarded the phrase as referring to the various military commanders, among whom were 'Abd Allah b.
		Interestingly for us, he maintains that the theologian (al-mutakallim), the exegete, and the hadith scholar who cannot deduce legal principles from the foundational texts are not to be included in the ahl al-hall wa-'l-'aqd, and therefore not to be counted among the uli 'l-amr.
		By the third or ninth century, the semantic scope of this phrase expands to include political leaders, signified by the introduction of the term salatin into the exegetical discourse on this issue, and the assignment of a secondary meaning of political authority to the term amr, as we saw in al-Jahiz' discussion and al-Tabari's exposition.

	Rupert Of Deutz On The Gospel Of John
		Although most of those writings were exegetical, Rupert also engaged in spirited debate over such issues as the nature of the Eucharist, the priesthood of monks, and the problems of evil, divine omnipotence, and the divine will during this period.
		In fact, much exegetical material from the patristic age is not in the form of commentaries in the modern sense but of sermons or sermon collections.
		Later, however, the role of exegete and the role of preacher (as well as the distinction between the use of exegesis in a sermon and exegesis proper) began to be blurred by mediaeval monastic interpreters who, unfamiliar with parish preaching in patristic times, used these sermon-series as models for verse-by-verse commentaries.

	B725 Bible Methods: Introduction and Textual Criticism
		In this way the exegete will be able to see how words are used in other portions of the text and will thus be able to better determine the original text.
		The exegete must know the meaning of the word before he or she can determine if it makes sense in its context.
		The student must know the grammar of the language in which he or she is working in order to determine corrections that scribes may have made for grammatical reasons.

		An Exegetical Study of the Concept of Manna in the Gospel of John and the Writings of Philo, (Brill, 1965, reprinted 1981).
		The structure of the books and their exegetical ideas are seen here as being closely connected and his writings are analysed against the background of the history, variety and outlook of Alexandrian Jewry.
		Philo's exegesis is a meeting place between Jewish and Greek notions and ideas; tensions are reflected, such as those between particularism and universalism, between specific biblical and historical earthly events and general macro- and micro-cosmic principles, and between heavenly ascents and interpreted history and eschatology.

	Hesychius of Jerusalem : quotes, biography and bibliography
		Nothing certain is known as to the dates of his birth and death (433?), or, indeed concerning the events of his life.
		It is this hyper-allegorical and glossarial method which constitutes the peculiar characteristic of his exegesis, and proves a valuable help to the literary critic in distinguishing authentic Hesychiana from the unauthentic.
		The importance of Hesychius for textual criticism lies in the fact that many of his paraphrases echo the wording of his exemplar, and still more in his frequent citation of variants from other columns of the Hexapla or Tetrapla, particularly readings of Symmachus, whereby he has saved many precious texts.

	Was Paul an Exegete?
		Paul never thought he was writing scripture; rather, he was writing pastoral (or apostolic) letters to churches he had helped to found.
		In fact, what Paul did with quotations from the Hebrew scriptures is rarely exegetical in nature at all.
		Paul certainly felt that he was using the words within an appropriate theological system, but he was not using them in the context of, and with the same understanding as the original writers.

	"Systematic Theology And The Apostle To The Gentiles" by Moises Silva
		The exegete of the New Testament as an exegete...
		Exegetes may never admit it or even be conscious of it, but, for the most part, they do not really believe they can learn anything from the theologians-at least with respect to exegetical work.
		As a result, exegetical conclusions are seldom shown to cohere with basic theological commitments, and the growing conceptual structure appears to lack intellectual integrity.

	History of the Christian Church, Schaff, 1910 edition with power search.
		In this genuine exegetical method he has admirably succeeded, except in a few cases where his judgment was biassed by his favorite dogma of a double predestination, or his antagonism to Rome; though even there he is more moderate and fair than his contemporaries, who indulge in diffuse and irrelevant declamations against popery and monkery.
		Calvin is too good an exegete to overlook this difference, and virtually admits its force, although he tries to weaken it.
		He agreed with Zwingli in the figurative interpretation of the words of institution, which is now approved by the best Protestant exegetes, and rejected the idea of a corporal presence and oral participation in the way of transubstantiation or consubstantiation, which implies either a miracle or an omnipresence of the body of Christ.

	Second-Last, B-Notes on Daniel 7
		Aramaic influence of this kind is, of course, credible even to those such as this exegete who, contrary to the critical assumptions of Brown-Driver-Briggs, date the Book of Job to the fifteenth century B.C. and assign Psalm 6 to King David.
		For the Aramaic language was already highly influential as a commercial language and then a diplomatic language throughout the Near East from very early times and had, indeed, been particularly connected with the history of the Hebrews from the time of the patriarch Abraham.
		To return, however, to the significance of the conjunction introducing the clause, the "distinctive" use is the term which this exegete, at least, has come to apply to the particular variety of the disjunctive waw which is represented here.

		"Exegeting" is "mining" all the meanings possible in the language to make sure we're not missing something.
		Exegeting the English Bible is dangerous because the English Bible itself is a work of interpretation representing the translators' best judgments about what the original words in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, mean when rendered in English.

		exegete follows the authoritative teaching of the Church and the prevalent opinions of her theologians on the question of Biblical inspiration.
