Exegesis, exegesis, and yet more exegesis! -- Karl Barth
Our culture already has a number of well known stories about artificial life and non-human intelligence. In 'Exegesis,' I've tried to not only tell a new and engaging story but also to comment on those well known stories through the details of my novel. -- Astro Teller
Exactly halfway between exegesis and practical theology stands dogmatics, -- Karl Barth
[The sensate body possesses] an art of interrogating the sensible according to its own wishes, an inspired exegesis -- Maurice Merleau-Ponty
So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma. -- Christy Turlington
Great power constitutes its own argument, and it never has much trouble drumming up friends, applause, sympathetic exegesis, and a band. -- Bill Vaughan
There is a simplicity that exists on the far side of complexity, and there is a communication of sentiment and attitude not to be discovered by careful exegesis of a text. -- Pat Buchanan
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
What on earth is modern exegesis up to? Oh, little lazy one! Some red wine and up! Off you go, brandishing your fork, stripped of Ophelia's useless ornaments, fire in your large nostrils, out to rake the muck of metaphors. -- Louis Aragon

There is a notion that complete impartiality is the most fitting and indeed the normal disposition for true exegesis , because it guarantees complete absence of prejudice. For a short time, around 1910, this idea threatened to achieve almost a canonical status in Protestant theology. But now, we can quite calmly describe it as merely comical. -- Karl Barth
One of the things I really respect about Doug Moo is that he is constantly grappling with the text. Where he hears the text saying something which is not what his tradition would have said, he will go with the text. I won't always agree with his exegesis, but there is a relentless scholarly honesty about him which I really tip my hat off to. -- N. T. Wright
Philo of Alexandria introduced in the first century what has been described as the 'Hellenizing of the Old Testament,' or the allegorical method of exegesis. By this, as Erdmann observes, the Bible narrative was found to contain a deeper, and particularly an allegorical interpretation, in addition to its literal interpretation; this was not conscious disingenuousness but a natural mode of amalgamating the Greek philosophic with the Hebraic doctrines. -- Philo
So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma." -- Christy Turlington
