Exegesis - Help!

[Luce NDs]

O ... a round space to put learning ... not popular with the square and stoned ... thus ide is denied as part and parcel of the quantum dimension of sol ... soliloquist? Somewhat sick over the emotional part that left with vertex egos ... serpentine-like ... and Jaded!

Oh, I don't mind your comment but you miss my point @unsafe. It isn't a matter of "pushing buttons" if by that you mean thoughtless and uncontrolled. I very deliberately respond to people who engage in bullying behaviour that way. It is a response that has served me well in dealing with church bullies. As I said, you may not admire or agree with it, but I'm largely unconcerned with how people regard me. The Holy Spirit has often used me to confront bullies in various contexts and I therefore don't apologize for doing so.

Where did I ask you to apologize -----

You have a great week

You didn't. Just a turn of phrase.
You have a great week yourself.

Weekly taken ... so subtle ...

I've got my laptop back at last from the computer shop.....
I had so many articles on lepers in Biblical times, summaries of the Biblical text, the beginnings of a sermon, etc I felt a wee bit strange handing over my laptop, so said to the guy, "Er, I'm doing a course - that's why there's a lot of religious stuff on there." (In secular Oz it's a bit like handing over a laptop with porn stuff).
I was gobsmacked when he said, "Exegesis, hermeneutics - I remember it well."

As well as preparing and delivering a sermon, there's also a quiz........

Here's a question I can't answer -What are the three methods of exegesis? -a,b,c,d?
a. Synchronic, existential, missional
b. diachronic, linguistic, rhetorical
c..synchronic, diachronic, existential
d. theological, hermeneutical, existential

Synchronous:
existing or occurring at the same time.

Like thoughts and resonant words about truth (sooth-sane) and lies ... a gift given to cover-up for stories told by existent powers. These tend to come in strings as once the primal lie is told there is no end to them. Lesser powers repeat their alternate forms through myths ... countering lies ... as powers find truth painful!

How did this all start? We don't know because of all the ABBA'd lies nailed down as law. What's the law? When caught in a lie ... let Eire go through your teeth .. until exhausted ... never give it up! Thus the church made fortunes on admonitions.

Some of us go to church as moles ... searchers ... domestication is the demiurge to tame the screw ... thus these critters form a group with ground hogs ... wasted for the sake of fertilizer for the trees.

How do I know this? I don't ... knowing is considered a secular evil ... thus great things .. and non-existence is a small thing like sol ... somewhat fishy! Tis illusive you must admit ... have you ever seen one? Perhaps they incarnate as dark mire ... deep in the vale ... sacred niche? Represented by "v" in the Nous story if you have enough to form a loop for hanging the alternate ... these could be impressed on a tree as totem or Aton ... a variant of Odin to provide alternate chaos to the love of Leis about flowering things on the water ... Lady of the Lake ... spook? Could be a thought drifting off ... being heart-sol connection thus the two faces go ... Caduceus ... pared down? The bode an was just waste anyhow ... wore out ... working with the lie ...

May form a basis for a myth about truth ... pure satyr? Would that bounce ... as Eire in resonance ... opposing dissonance of the other kind? That'd be Hur ... a new one ... in Hebrew a fresh child! Something else to study Runes ... Lewis' wasteland ... tis all in the name ... just word!

Rye sooth-sane ... lu' Ide is ... lew'd? Basal ganglia ... they must be contained ... so they can "look out" for yah ... like sentient ... uprights?

Hmmmmmm. I think the question suffers a bit in the asking. There are more than three exegetical methods. Your instructor might want to consider making the question more or less specific.

a) covers territory explored under the Historical-Critical Method, Applications from Human Sciences and Contextual approaches.
b) covers Historical-Critical Methods and Newer Methods of Literary Analysis
c) covers Historical-Critical Methods and Applications from Human Sciences
d) covers Applications from Human Sciences and Application of Exegesis

I wish I could help. I'm stumped myself.

Historical-Critical Methods have easily 8 different exegetical forms.
Newer Methods of Literary Analysis have roughly 3 different exegetical forms.
Tradition-based Methods have roughly 3 different forms
Human Science Approaches have however many human sciences might apply. 3 or four methods immediately come to mind.
Contextual approaches have however many contexts might apply.

Since this is an introductory course I am most likely over thinking.

That said, answer A) appears to cover the widest spread of methods/forms. I'd probably go with that unhappily.

 

[Seeler]

I was going to guess 'all of the above'.

In the complex view from afar off (outlander, eliminated sol) this cannot be simplified for those wishing it one-way ... metaphor for Pandemic? Then there is the concept of syndrome ... multi-networked?

Is that the devil to those wishing simple salvation?

That was my first thought when I first saw this early this morning.

I don't have a clue how to answer. I'm kind of assuming that the answer relates back to something the instructor has personally said or written as opposed to any sort of generally accepted understanding of exegetical methodology.

So, what I'm saying is that the instructor is perhaps engaging in eisegesis in his/her course on exegesis by reading his/her personal understanding of exegesis into the broader study of exegesis.

Hey, at least you and @revjohn know enough to be stumped. I'm just kind of "yeah, okay, whatever".

 

[PilgrimsProgress]

Seems I'm in good company being floored with this one.......
I'll broaden my brains trust - it might be a method of exegesis that relates specifically to the UCA?

Exegesis - "content and context" is enough for me, lol!

You make me laugh!

*Sigh* This quiz is er, diabolical!

What year was Paul converted to Christianity?
a.30CE
b.33 CE
c.35 CE
d.37CE

I got somewhere between 33 CE - 36 CE - so does this mean that both b. and c. could be correct?

That's kind of like "What year was Jesus born?"

Correct answer: nobody knows!

 

[Carolla]

And my answer ... why does this even matter? It's a variance of 7 years ... maybe ...

 

[revjohn]

I'm wondering what the text for this course might be?

 

[Jaebius]

I'm wondering what the text for this course might be?

And, is it available for Kidle?

 

[PilgrimsProgress]

Methinks I'm going to have to ask some questions about this quiz.......

I've done the first draft of my sermon - now to get it down to the allotted ten minutes!
