Eisegesis — Definition
Front
What is 'eisegesis' and why is it discouraged in apologetics?
Back
Eisegesis is the process of interpreting a text by introducing one's own presuppositions or agendas. It distorts the original meaning to fit a personal or modern narrative.
Explanation
Biblical scholars aim to avoid this to ensure their defense of the faith is rooted in what the Bible actually says, not what they wish it said.
