| Jul 21, 2014 at 2:46 | comment | added | bruised reed | For me, the implication of 'bible interpretation' is wider than '(critical) textual interpretation' - it will be interesting to see other's take on this issue. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 2:44 | comment | added | curiousdannii Mod | Also note that exegesis already has two synonyms: interpretation and hermeneutics. | |
| Jul 21, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | curiousdannii Mod | You're right that there's a difference, but I don't think bible-interpretation is the best tag for the second stage of interpretation. I'd explain exegesis as "studying a text to understand how it was meant to be understood in its original context". This is what most of the questions tagged as bible-interpretation are about. Not many are about interpreting the whole Bible systematically, and even those that are would be better tagged with the systematic topic instead, IMO. | |
