What is the difference between exegesis and hermeneutics? Are they the same, is there overlap, or does one pick up where the other leaves off?

    Exegesis is the part of biblical hermeneutics (the process of interpreting Scripture) in which the authorial intent of a passage is drawn out of the text.

      Duane L Burgess but according to Peter, the authors of Scripture didn’t themselves understand what the Holy Spirit was saying until after they wrote:

      “Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.” 1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭12‬
