My observations below.
I think it is a matter of when an Evangelical presents Holy Scriptures they are usually applying exegesis. What is witnessed on chat boards across the interweb, when Catholics use Holy Scriptures they apply eisegesis. And in many cases readily admit such but maybe not directly.
My observation is Catholics apply Scriptures through their CCC (and other teachings). For example, the CCC will say 'this is the church teachings' and then they will quote Scriptures to support the church teaching and/or a church father or theologian.
The difference between eisegesis and exegesis is quite important to note.
Eisegesis: is the interpretation of a passage based on a subjective, non-analytical reading. The word eisegesis literally means “to lead into,” which means the interpreter injects his own ideas into the text, making it mean whatever he wants.
Exegesis: is the exposition or explanation of a text based on a careful, objective analysis. The word exegesis literally means “to lead out of.” That means that the interpreter is led to his conclusions by following the text.
Before we make this a Prot vs. Catholic issue, I readily admit there are Protestant/Evangelical churches out there which readily make use of eisegesis to condone many unbiblical practices.
That is why exegesis is most important for all Christians. It helps us interpret passages without rose colored glasses.
I could provide examples if you would like to discuss. However, given the history of this RF, dispassionate objective discussion is rare.
That's the key to a proper understanding of the Word.
Catholic: "This is what The Church [master] believes, therefore it must be supported in Scripture [servant]."
Sound evangelical: This is what Scripture [master] teaches therefore it must be believed by the church [servant].
Good job.
Thanks for the explanation.
