“[E]very reader, no matter how literal-minded and scientific, no matter how committed to exegesis or hostile to eisegesis, is pouring stuff into the text that is not there, or, perhaps more accurately, siphoning off stuff that is not there. . . . Even the most rigorously grammatical and historical exegesis of the Bible depends on connections between text and text, or text and speech, or text and extratextual reality.”

Peter Leithart, Deep Exegesis
