Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Exegetist

👉 An exegetist is a scholar who interprets ancient texts and other religious or philosophical works for their deeper meaning, often in order to understand them better. They seek to uncover hidden meanings, interpret verses differently, and interpret the text against the historical context of its author, patron, and audience. This scholarly approach has become increasingly popular among scholars working on various religions, such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
