1. Eisegesis

   Eisegesis () is the process of interpreting text in such a way as to introduce one's own presuppositions, agendas or biases. It is commonly referred to as reading into the text. It is often done to "prove" a pre-held point of concern, and to provide confirmation bias corresponding with the pre-held interpretation and any agendas supported by it. Eisegesis is best understood when contrasted with exegesis. Exegesis is drawing out a text's meaning in accordance with the author's context and discoverable meaning. Eisegesis is when a reader imposes their interpretation of the text. Thus exegesis tends to be objective; and eisegesis, highly subjective. The plural of eisegesis is eisegeses (). Someone who practices eisegesis is known as an eisegete (); this is also the verb form. "Eisegete" is often used in a mildly derogatory way. Although the terms eisegesis and exegesis are commonly heard in association with Biblical interpretation, both (especially exegesis) are broadly used across literary disciplines.

1. eisegesis

   Eisegesis is the process of interpreting a text, typically a religious scripture, in such a way that it introduces one's own ideas, presuppositions, biases, or personal interpretations into the text, as opposed to letting the text itself naturally reveal its meaning. This leads to a subjective, and sometimes flawed or misleading, interpretation that may not accurately reflect the original intent or message of the text.
